You plan to go through the roundabout to the road opposite, but cars are queued in the outgoing lane of that road. Which TWO are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) will go through the roundabout to the road opposite (N)
- Cars are backed up in the outgoing lane of the road opposite
- The circulating lane has one lane
You may not stop inside an intersection (Article 32, item 1 of the Road Traffic Act), and a roundabout is designed to keep traffic flowing. Think about who gets blocked if you stop in the circulating lane when your exit road is jammed, and consider separately what to do before entering and after you have already entered.
Answer: ③, ⑤
Explanation
A roundabout is designed for traffic to keep flowing counterclockwise (Road Traffic Act Article 25-2(1)), so a car stopped in the circulating lane blocks both following and entering traffic. If the exit road is blocked, wait at the entry; if you are already inside, go around again until the exit clears. Stopping inside an intersection is prohibited (Article 32, item 1), so stopping in the circulating lane or beside the central traffic island is wrong.
