I’d go 2 4 5 or 1 3 5 probably depending on how much traffic there is.
But I’m certainly not convinced any of these methods are the best/official way to do it.
1,3,6?
From right to left
2, 4, 5, 6
Car 1: 1-3-6
Car 2: 2-4-5
This kind of roundabouts are the worst ever invented. No kidding, its very hard to change lanes from inside ->outside when bussy and often leads to people stopping.
They should have added dividers, like after some exit, inner lanes becomes outer lane (and outer lane must have exited by then)
PS ; My pet hate roundabout is not this one, it’s the next one up after the highway.
I’d go ‘off-piste’ and make use of those fields.
I don’t know if I understood the question correctly, but the general rule for roundabouts with 2 lanes is:
5-6 was designed by monkeys. Because only 6 is needed for the roundabout. And 5 should only exist for the north-east road that comes in the roundabout.
Meaning, do 2,4,6.
Doing 1,3,6 should work as well. But it’s not ideal because someone could do 2,4,6 and that can lead to an accident if nobody sees the other. Meaning 1,3,6 or 1,3,5 is logical only if there’s no traffic at all.
The north-west to south-west road part is done correctly. But that whole mess for east and north, that’s likely due to someone not willing to sell some land to make a proper roundabout.
Someone got inspired by my comment on the other post ahah
Is this nyon?
How often do people crash there? That looks like a traffic planner forgot that people don’t know how to drive
My driving license buddy once explained it as follows; if u are not turning right/take the first exit you gotta go kiss the center. Works for me…
PS: use ur f”@&ing turn signals…
As far as I know, if you don’t take the first exit then you’re supposed to use the inside ring, so 1/3/6
2 4 5 6
General rule: if your exit is the first or second one, go right (outside). If it’s anything after, go left.
you can also start from 1 if you want to go straight. once you’re in the circle there’s no way to distinguish between you or somebody that came from the bottom road and wanted to go left.
this makes sense especially if there’s a long queue on 2 and 1 is empty, which is idiotic and a result of people worshipping “rules” like dumb sheep. there’s actually no rule for 1 and 2, it’s just a convention.
[2, 4, 5] or [2, 4, 6], or [1, 3, 4, 5] or [1, 3, 4, 6].
It’s forbidden to leave the roundabout from the middle as it can cause a collision. You should always leave it from the outermost lane (4). Being in the outermost lane lets you choose the lane after the round (5 or 6). This approach eliminates a collision possibility. In the case of (3, 4) change, the car on 4 has a priority.
The Indication light being used only when leaving the roundabout.
Looks like a terrible death trap for cyclists. Switzerland ranked #1 in freedom and yet they don’t even have protected bike lanes so people can have the freedom to safely ride their bikes? Disappointing
Get as quick as possible on the other side of the “Röstigrabe”.
It depends on knowledge we don’t have. Because behaviour in roundabouts depends on the sign which you see before entering.
Generally: For every exit that is within the right half and straight to the top on that sign you take the right lane (2,4,5,6). For every exit on the left half of that sign you take the left lane (1,3,x). So generally in this roundabout you’d take 2,4,5,6. *BUT*
I’m 99% sure that on the sign in front of this roundabout there is an instruction about which lane leads where. Probably you can either take 2,4,5,6 or 1,3,6. Maybe you shouldn’t take 2,4,5,6 because this is meant for people coming from the top direction, maybe not. We’ll never know until we actually drive towards that roundabout.
*edit: I’ve found it on streetview and the 1% I’m not sure is the case. On the sign you don’t see which lanes lead where so when entering you have to take the right lane (since you can’t know that the exit has multiple lanes) so 2, 4 are your way to go. To exit you can choose between 5 and 6, but I’d probably take 5 in case someone is on the inside lane of the roundabout and also wants to exit on Rte Blanche.

Which car is « you » ? One of the numbered cars?

I don’t know if I understood the question correctly, but the general rule for roundabouts with 2 lanes is:
2 (outer lane) is used for 1st and 2nd exit.
1 (inner lane) is only ever used for 3rd exit.
2,4,5,6
Edit: here a link to one with a similar layout.

1 is for turning left.
2 is for going straight or turning right.
3 is for turning left or doing a 180.
4 is for going straight or turning right.
