It's Roundabout Time: How to Use a Roundabout

[wucky2]

I absolutely hate using roundabouts when I am cycling purely because I fear that I will be hit by someone being stupid and pulling out and then getting hit by a car from behind because they couldn't break in time.

@wucky2 Thanks for the comment. You make a good point that it is as important to be safe yourself as it is to be aware of other drivers. Hopefully videos like this can educate and increase awareness on how best to navigate a roundabout.

@MinistryofTranBC No Problem ^_^ I always make sure im aware of drivers when using a Roundabout.

I like roundabout intersection than a 4 junction intersection. Cause it feels safer.

In Ireland and UK you must signal no matter what exit your taking.

I do not like round abouts who comes up with stupid ideas, we have one in our area and no one knows to use it.

@kwlawson1 Videos like these help better explain the use of round abouts. They are definately something new to get use to but they are proven to reduce incidents and greenhouse gas emissions (less idling).

And if travelling on a bike instead of a car, It's a good idea to "take the lane" to prevent anyone from overtaking which could lead to several hazards, and for better visibility as you ride around it.
