Which turn signal should you use to let other drivers know you are exiting a roundabout?
-
A.
Hazard flashers
-
B.
No signal is required
-
C.
Right turn signal Correct
-
D.
Left turn signal
The answer is "Right turn signal"
Use the right turn signal to tell other drivers you are leaving the roundabout. A driver focused on the counter-clockwise flow inside the circle sometimes picks the left signal, missing that the exit itself is a right-hand movement out of the ring.
The traps in the wrong answers
A. Hazard flashers
Hazards mark a disabled or parked vehicle, not a routine exit. This answer reaches for the flashers to announce any lane change rather than the specific turn signal.
B. No signal is required
The manual requires a signal at the exit; the roundabout's shape does not replace it. This answer treats the circle's structure as enough communication on its own.
D. Left turn signal
The exit is a right-hand movement out of the circle, so the right signal applies. This answer follows the counter-clockwise flow inside the circle and picks the direction it feels like.
