Which statements about roundabouts are correct? (multiple answers possible)
- ✓ With sign B6 and shark's-teeth, traffic on the roundabout has priority
- ✓ On a roundabout you always drive rechtsom (anticlockwise)
- You may choose to drive either left-handed or right-handed, as long as priority is respected
- If the road looks empty, you don't need to check whether a sign is present
- ✓ Without any sign, entering traffic has priority
Correct answer: With sign B6 and shark's-teeth, traffic on the roundabout has priority; On a roundabout you always drive rechtsom (anticlockwise); Without any sign, entering traffic has priority
Explanation
False — Checking exactly that determines who has priority — an empty-looking roundabout does not make the sign irrelevant (Book p.82/p.84).
Why learners get this wrong
- The direction of travel (rechtsom) is independent of the priority question and is never a choice
- Incorrect. Checking exactly that determines who has priority — an empty-looking roundabout does not make the sign irrelevant (Book p.82/p.84).
