What signaling is required when you intend to exit a roundabout?

• A. Signal right to exit.
• B. Signal left to exit.
• C. Do not signal at any time.
• D. Signal right only when there are pedestrians.

Answer: (B)

When you plan to leave a roundabout, you signal to indicate you’re exiting. The standard is to use your left turn signal as you approach your intended exit (usually activating it after you’ve passed the exit before yours and continuing to signal until you’re completely out). This communicates to other drivers and pedestrians that you’re not continuing around the circle and helps them adjust their speed and position. Using a right signal would suggest you’re entering or continuing around the roundabout, which can confuse others. Not signaling at all can lead to surprise or unsafe maneuvers. The signal is needed regardless of pedestrians; you should always use it to show you’re leaving.
