Mini-roundabouts
You learn that a mini-roundabout follows the same rules as a big roundabout.
How to know who goes first
- Look for the small white circle on the road.
- Give way to traffic coming from your right.
- Go round the circle clockwise.
A worked example
A comes up to a mini-roundabout and B is already on it.
- The small white circle means a roundabout.
- B is on it, so B goes first.
- First B, then A.
More examples
A and C want to join, and B is already on the roundabout.
- Look at who is on the circle: B.
- A and C give way to B and wait.
A moped is on the circle. A car comes up behind a Give Way line.
The moped is already on the roundabout and goes first.
Watch out
You drive straight over the painted circle without looking.
Treat it as a roundabout: slow down, look to the right, and give way.
Tips
- A mini-roundabout is often on a quiet road, but it still has priority rules.
- Signal as you would on a bigger roundabout.
Why it works
A mini-roundabout is a small white circle painted on the road. There is no island to go around. The rule is the same: give way to traffic already on the roundabout, and go clockwise around the circle.
