There is also nothing about signalling for at least 3 Hmmm. I can't remember properly about signaling left when going straight through. Though I have to say when going straight through doesn't need any indication. And you must have misunderstood me about the 3 seconds thing. I said signal 3 seconds before entering the roundabout, not when you're in it. |

| 747470 | 2009-02-13 07:39:00 | In Wellington many of the roundabouts are so small the only signalling that makes sense is left before entering if you are taking the 1st exit or right before entering if you are continuing around. Signalling left before exiting is rather pointless on mini roundabouts. Personally I agree with you on mini ones but on rather large roundabouts in my view it makes sense to signal your intentions regardless so that a person driving a vehicle anywhere near you has a vague idea as to where you are going. In any event on a roundabout you should give way to any vehicle which would go through your vehicle on your right in the the event you you did not see it coming. What would you do in the event you were at a roundabout in Auckland and there were seven roads which connected to the same construction like Panmure. I am almost sure that you should know but maybe you do not. |

Interpretation of what people think what is legal and what is not. Or, in fact, what Parliament means by passing a law, amendment or an amendment to the amendment. I might add that all people have the right to defend any issue. For example, much like here on PressF1, some people assume certain things about other people until you meet them face to face as I have done with four members of this forum. |

| 747473 | 2009-02-13 08:50:00 | or .. for more fun, what about roundabouts with like two lanes ... whoa, brake, brake, take evasive action as some idiot ploughs straight thru into your lane. Not to mention of course the really hilarious who take shortcuts by not actually going round or should I say they go the wrong way. Yes, in Auckland .. cough cough |

| 747475 | 2009-02-13 08:55:00 | When roundabouts were first built in Upper Hutt some years ago, the road markings on one were changed 5 times (including no markings at all), and on others more than once because "they" whoever "they" were, could not decide on the correct lane markings and turning arrows, especially where there were two lanes going into or out from the roundabout. The same was true in Lower Hutt. Several roundabouts in Upper Hutt are built so far to the right that "straight on" is quite literal. In some cases it is pointless to indicate a technical left turn. Upper and Lower Hutt have some of the worst/smallest roundabouts. They have installed them on roads where they have replaced traffic lights for cost reasons. Lower Hutt in particluar is bad, because almost all intersections in the CBD are roundabouts! |

| 747476 | 2009-02-13 09:28:00 | Could I ask does anyone know the rule(s) specific? In my opinion I try to stay alive regardless. So if I go around a large roundababout signalling right as I could do so and according to law I could keep on travelling around. Quite as long as I want. |

Whats that mean :confused:. Its almost a case of ready-ready - Clear spot---- GO!! :D | wainuitech (129) | ||
