You are driving the orange car and want to turn right at this roundabout. What do you do?

Signal right as you approach the roundabout and keep signalling right as you exit the roundabout

Signal right as you approach the roundabout and signal left as you exit the roundabout

Signal right as you approach the roundabout and signal left as you pass the exit before the one you want to take

Don't signal as you approach the roundabout, then signal right as you pass the first exit

According to New Zealand traffic rules, the correct practice is to signal left before exiting the roundabout at the previous intersection, to alert other vehicles that you are about to leave the roundabout.

The benefits of doing this include:

1. Improved Road Safety: Signaling left in advance helps other vehicles react sooner, reducing the likelihood of accidents.
2. Reduced Traffic Congestion: It informs other vehicles that you are about to exit the roundabout, allowing them to prepare accordingly and improve traffic flow efficiency.

So, how can you identify the previous intersection before exiting the roundabout?

Generally, the previous intersection is the road you are about to enter. If you are unsure, you can look for roadside signs, which typically indicate the roundabout exits clearly.
