During the first exit from a two-lane circle, what should you check?

• A. Check for traffic in the right lane and look for pedestrians.
• B. Check for traffic in the left lane and look for pedestrians.
• C. Check for traffic in the right lane only.
• D. Check for traffic in all lanes.

Answer: (A)

When leaving a two-lane roundabout at the first exit, your focus should be on the exit path itself. Stay in the right-hand exit lane and, as you approach the exit, quickly scan that lane for any vehicles that may be merging or slowing to exit with you. At the same time, look for pedestrians at the crosswalk near the exit and yield to them if they’re crossing. This combination—checking the exit lane for traffic and watching for pedestrians—keeps your exit safe and predictable. Focusing only on the right lane without considering pedestrians can miss someone crossing, and scanning all lanes or the left lane isn’t necessary for this exit and can distract you from what you need to do in the exit lane.
