Mini-roundabouts
You learn that a mini-roundabout follows the same rules as a big roundabout.
How to look in traffic
- 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.
Try it yourself
This is best practised in the real exercise, where you click, drag or tap yourself.
Practise thisWatch 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.
