Hello Veeky Forums

My city in Wisconsin just added a whole bunch of new ones. I can't speak for more densely populated places, but there a bunch here.

Post a picture of it. Its probably a turbo roundabout that forces you to be in the right lane before you enter the roundabout.

that shouldn't really hapend though you should be on the right lane if you wanna exit the runabout
you should switch lane if you're in the center one when you pass an exit

better look at another one

Thats a whole different thing because it has a two lane exit

See
If the red car is like our friend above and just drives in the right lane like a pussy, he will block me.

the red car should have gone to the center lane

Should have, but in reality people are scared like
and just drive in the right hand lane only.

then pass them or switch behind them
but yeah people need to know that right lane if for right and forward
center is for left and back

>two lane roads entering and only one lane exits
>not even arrows what lane one should take

Holy shit belgians are maniacs

I have never seen arrows and/or 'full' lines (the road marking that you can't cross) on Belgian roundabouts.

the one lane exit is to prevent the situation in OP describe to happend while both driver could be in the "right" and so they would be responsible for badly designed road

Canadian roundabout it is yield to left, the blue car has the right of way
1/2

2/2

You keep driving just like you don't stop in a revolving door.

that's not the case in europe
we learn that in all case where it's not explicit it's always the vehicule on your right that as the priority

that's good to know tough

>that's not the case in europe
but is that on right hand drive?
in which case it is the same

What about a roundabout with only 1 exit lane?
Still yield to left in Canada?

Well pic related is how it should have been done.
Holy kek I mean it's not like the one on the inner lane could take the right exit lane. Gud jawb to who who was responsible for that monster.

Yes right hand drive, in Europe there is no such rule as 'yield to left on a roundabout'.

>multi lane roundabouts
literally the dumbest invention

roundabouts are yield left, 4 way and T intersections are yield right, unless otherwise posted.

The problem with this design is that if you mistakenly get in the right hand lane too soon, you're forced off the roundabout.
How could you let this happen in the land of the free?

yep lots popping up. so far most here are built on the outskirts of cities where there's less traffic. a few being built in shopping centre parking lots but they are less common so far

assume we're building them in lower traffic areas simply to reduce the need to pointlessly stop at every stop sign when there's not usually any traffic around to actually stop for

The problem with the roundabout design in general is that in order for it to work people are assumed not fucking retarded. At least this way only the stupid are punished.

the idea is that collisions happen at oblique angles, even if the roudabout increases the number of collisions at an intersection.
the theory is that even if the number of collisions increase the number of injuries and fatalities decrease with this approach.

it also maximizes the traffic volume through an area by deducing speed to to a constant speed below 30km/h during peak times, rather than stop and go rushes.

how in the fuck is anyone supposed to get anywhere with that mess? multi lane roundabouts are the stupidest shit

You wouldn't happen to be in Wausau?
Because I think I know which turnabouts you're talking about.

>innercircleofhell.jpg

so it's the same rules, just everything is opposite because we drive on the other side of the road.

?
You drive on the left in Canada?

our cars are left hand drive (driver on the left) and drive on the right side of the road. opposite of the UK. I assume it is the same for Europe

They can work when they are planned well. Even poles can do it.

That has lights. Not self regulating.

it also appears to have a train running through the middle.

that would be a permanent accident scene in North America

No sorry, mainland Europe drives on the right side of the road. Still, on roundabouts you do NOT yield to cars on the left trying to exit the roundabout.

These storefront captchas are getting on my nerves.

In the USA the red car would be breaking the law as we have traffic circles, not roundabouts. Right lane exits first or second chance, left lane exits second or third. You cannot go back the way you came.

WTH europe. get ur shit together.

would lights pretty much defeat the propose of the roundabout?

>storefront captchas
those and street signs is all i've had for like a year now

good to know

and yeah, hate the captcha

Well, first off you're an asshole for being in that lane and trying to go to the right.

If I was the asshole I'd choose B.

You can't build a roundabout this size without regulation and expect it to work.

>american education

Yeah he should totally go to the left instead..

Wtf is that reasoning?
So when you enter the left hand lane, you can never exit, and should keep driving until you run out of gas?

Well, one would think that there would be another exit to the road. What is the point of that roundabout anyways? It does nothing.

Roundabouts are not like that over here.
See pic of the roundabout in question:

...

Ah, I see. This is the only roundabout I have in my area. It's like 30 minutes away as I live in a super small town.

Pic is my daily driver. Got to be 4x4 for this horrible snowstorm that's over us right now.

Are you fucking stupid?

Explain. I marked the roads as they would be here. See

When would the blue car turn left?

Yeah I noticed I fucked that up a little. Whoops

Nice truck, paint looks kinda faded though, you gonna do something about that?

Pic related is my new company car (stock photo but looks just like mine).
Got it 3 weeks ago :^)
Only difference is that mine has no steel rims but cheap wheel caps. I need to replace them, do you think black caps would work with this car or is that too rice-y?

Nice looking car, I love the wagon look. I think black caps would look good. Depends on the style of them I guess. I'm keeping the paint exactly how it is. I fixed the little rust there is and it's under primer.
Video is it doing it's first burnout.
youtube.com/watch?v=9bQnu5TqJgQ

What do you even do in that situation? Just fucking give up and abandon the car?

I don't know why but I like that faded/thrown together look. Pic is truck at start.

A red car goes round and round and round
B blue car goes round and round and round
C both cars cruise into infinity

Here this is explained a bit better

The whole time.

C: Get in lane ahead of time and don't be a fucktard.
I have a policy of not letting people like the blue car through. PICK YOUR LANE IN TIME.
> But I didn't know
There are signs. The lane assignments are literally painted on the road.

>that would be a permanent accident scene in North America
And nothing of value would be lost.

>would lights pretty much defeat the propose of the roundabout?
Yes. That's why socialists and other authoritarians are so fond of them.

Red car is in the wrong lane, and should be following the inside line around the curve.
Blue car should have changed lane earlier.

Multi-lane roundabouts are specifically taught to new drivers here in britain. We have towns that have been constructed around the concept of the roundabout; a glorified roundabout ringing the town with roundabouts to get off it

But Americans can't read that.

Red car is retarded and should be in the inner lane if they want to skip one or more exits. Only go in the outer lane if you're gonna take the first exit.

C. I am in the correct lane before entering the roundabout.

This guy gets it.

You'd think people would have to learn some rules and do a test before being allowed on the road. Apparently the majority never bothered.

I stop the car and ponder the insanity of the world that builds a two lane roundabout with a single exit.

This. 1-lane makes tons of sense, and should replace stop signs wherever possible IMO. 2 lane is iffy at best, and 3 or more is full-retard.

Vehicle H in the first pic is not using the roundabout correctly. Here is how to use one th.gov.bc.ca/roundabouts/

>Traffic signals
That's barely even a roundabout. More like 4 separate intersections between 4 one-way streets.

>mfw 5 lanes

New Zealand's building them like wildfire, it's spreading faster than aids

Multi lanes roundabouts are fucken horrible when 80% of the road traffic is coconuts

agreed, I usually just slow and slot in if one of the cars in the outer ring doesn't take the first exit and give me a hole though.

re enact days of thunder is the only option I see here

Basically what you're meant to do is indicate before your exit, move into the right hand lane, keep indicating and then exit.
Were I to choose between A & B, assuming there are no other cars on the roundabout, I'd pick A. Not legal, but faster and at that point not unsafe.

B is what you should do and what the law states that you should do.
A is what people actually do because they are absolute cunts.

How would this situation ever even arise in practice? Have you ever even driven on a roundabout?

The middle lane has less distance to travel.

Before you got into this situation, you'd have to be in position 1 and position 2 and decide to undertake the outside car and cut him off swerving in front of him to get to the exit first.

You just hang back and merge in behind him it's not fucking rocket science.

If you both enter the roundabout at the same time then and go straight over then since you have the inner lane you reach the exit first and he merges in behind you.

Literally never an issue.

That is not the same roundabout as OPs, though.

I'll admit it hasn't happened to me yet, but it's perfectly possible.
If the red car is a retard driver (basically already proven since he took the wrong lane), and accelerates like a maniac when on the roundabout, this situation can easily happen.

>I reply before reading the thread
Euro roundabouts don't have forced exit lanes or arrows, check the google maps picture feggits.

>undertake the outside car
On right hand driving countries that's called overtaking and it's legal. Undertaking is when you "overtake" on the right, not on the left. The roundabout from OP's picture and yours is that of right hand traffic countries.

>Literally never an issue.
user... My town has more roundabouts than straight streets and I am tired of seeing morons stop on the 2nd lane of a roundabout because they want to leave from there. These cunts impede traffic flow.
Our traffic code also states that you can only leave a roundabout from the outside lane unless the road markings say otherwise, but people don't give a shit about that.

>I'll admit it hasn't happened to me yet, but it's perfectly possible.
>If the red car is a retard driver (basically already proven since he took the wrong lane), and accelerates like a maniac when on the roundabout, this situation can easily happen.
Crash into them. They are at fault and you are encouraging people to be retarded by letting them get away with it.
Unless you failed to do the speed limit when forced them to go around you, then its your fault.

get on my level

>Car A merges into lane of car B when there is no room and crashes into car B
>Don't worry, it'll be car B's fault

No, it won't.

Id just go over grass t b h

fuck that

same idea as the black car in the BC animation.

it might not be the courteous way to use a roundabout but it is perfectly legit.
Canadians might go out of their way to hold a door open for you but since when are they courteous drivers.

You slow down/speed up and merge into the right lane.
Just like you would do in a highway exit

You are both at equal right of way because both of you had not made a full stop before turning on to the road.
If the left lane car cuts in front of the right lane car to make that right turn, expect to be in some shit.
>Yuropeon drivers.

>both of you had not made a full stop before turning on to the road
What did he mean by this?

jesus that looks like a clusterfuck. I would want nothing to do with any of that business.

Git gud.

whats that area in the middle for?

>implying americans know anything about roundabouts

Thank God
