Hello all, just need some help with this.
So I am currently an R plate driver been passed since March, so I am fairly new to the roads. I take this roundabout as to visit mates in uni but I hate it because it confuses the absolute fuck out of me.

My driving senses tell me that I must approach in the right hand lane as my exit is past 12 o’clock but the lane I’ve to take for that is dead centre, and people in the left lane just go straight ahead into it. But I also see an equal amount of people using the right lane approach aswell. Had a few close calls, too many for my liking, and I just want to know what the right way to go about it is so I have that peace of mind.

  1. If you want to be in the circle, then use the left lane. Stockman’s lane roundabout has 2 left lanes that must exit up kennedy way. The middle lane must enter the M1 Northbound. The right lane must go around the roundabout into the 2nd or 3rd lanes. The 4th lane you circled may either go M1 North (in the right lane of the on-ramp) or go around the roundabout in the left lane.

    All of the above is true if you are not changing lane.

    Look at the dotted white line from the offramp you are on. It actually continues to between lanes 4 and 5… i.e. if you are in the left lane on the offramp, and keep that white line to your right – you will end up in the 4th lane – able to go around the roundabout in the left lane, and exit towards Boucher Road in the left lane.

    Much easier to see from google maps

  2. Right lane is right turn only. Everything else in the left lane. It’s very clearly marked on the road.

  3. Damn bro. I just wing it once I enter the roundabout.

  4. I use this all the time and honestly don’t think it could be more clear how it works

  5. You could have a phd on this roundabout and still have lots of near misses. People just jump from lane to lane without care. Others cross multiple lanes when turning. Some of the lanes are faint though, but people don’t even try.
