When exiting a roundabout, what signaling action should you take?

• A. Signal when you exit the roundabout to indicate your intention.
• B. Signal only if another vehicle is near.
• C. Signal during entry.
• D. Do not signal.

Answer: (A)

The action being tested is using signaling to communicate your exit from a roundabout. In a roundabout, your path can change as you ride around, so it’s important to tell other drivers when you’re leaving. You should switch on a signal as you approach the exit you plan to take and keep it on until you’ve cleared onto the new road. This lets drivers behind and beside you know you’re leaving and helps them adjust their speed or position accordingly. Signaling on entry can mislead others about which exit you’ll take, so it’s not the right time to signal. Signaling only if another vehicle is near ignores the basic need to communicate your intention to all road users. And not signaling at all removes valuable information from drivers around you, increasing the chance of last‑minute moves or collisions. After you’ve exited and are clear of the roundabout, you can cancel the signal.
