Driving a roundabout for drivers is a stumbling block, especially for car owners who have recently obtained rights, as well as women. Despite the fact that all, or almost all, at one time studied the rules of the road, it is the movement along the ring that causes difficulty and sometimes leads to accidents, since the driver can not navigate with the inclusion of turn signals or with the occupied lane.
Before dwelling in detail on the rules of the passage of the roundabout, I would like to talk a bit about its advantages. The use of such forks is believed to increase
road safety. After all, as you know, any driver, approaching the intersection, is obliged to reduce speed. As a result of these actions, the consequences of possible road accidents are less severe when compared with the intersection of ordinary intersections. The second advantage of roundabouts is increased throughput as well as reduced waiting times. In addition, the number of adjacent paths can be significantly larger than that of a regular intersection, it all depends on the diameter of the circle. There is no need to install traffic lights, which reduces road maintenance costs.
Driving directions for roundabouts
1. Before any intersection (the ring is no exception), the car enthusiast must slow down, carefully look around, pay attention to
prescriptive signs. Many people think that the main road and the roundabout are synonymous words. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, and unreasonable confidence is the cause of accidents. Therefore, do not forget about the
rule of the right hand, if the ring road is secondary.
2. Many questions arise with turning lights on. To avoid confusion, you just need to remember the following: roundabouts are always carried with the right turn signal on.
3. You can enter the ring from any convenient lane, but leave it only from the right lane. Also, when changing lanes at the roundabout to the desired lane, it is necessary to warn other drivers about their maneuver without misleading them.
4. Rebuilding is done in advance. Since sometimes a too dense stream of cars will interfere with the restructuring directly in front of the congress site. It is this hindsight that causes road accidents.
5. The passage of roundabouts requires movement along the ring at a constant speed without sudden braking and jerking.
6. At a roundabout, you must be especially careful and control all vehicles in the immediate vicinity of the vehicle.
These are just the basic traffic rules on the ring. But even they cannot be called unified. It should be remembered that the passage of roundabouts depends on the specific conditions on the roads. The main thing is never to rush, to soberly assess the situation, follow the signs and gain experience. Over time, the passage of the ring will not cause any difficulties.
