There are very few roundabouts in this country that are big enough to be able to effectively use indicators to signal your intentions.

One I can think of off the top of my head is the Panmure roundabout - and there are a couple of new ones out Hobsonville/Whenuapai way that almost fall into the same category.

1202783 2011-05-21 05:28:00 The roundabout laws have got to be the most misunderstood piece of traffic legislation in NZ. I thought the law was very clear about indicating when you LEAVE the roundabout, but everyone else seems to think they need to indicate right when entering the roundabout no matter what. Greven (91)

The way I understand it is when you enter a roundabout;

Indicate left if you are turning left.
No need to indicate if you are going straight ahead.
Indicate right if you are turning right.

Always indicate left when you are about to leave the roundabout.

That's exactly what the rules are.

And if a railfan, who doesn't drive very often, understands this, surely those who drive every day do as well :rolleyes:
