According to the DGT itself, 1 out of every 3 drivers who had an accident at a roundabout did not know the traffic rules in force in these cases. And that’s what, as always, it directs attention where it is most needed, in order to improve circulation and, above all, to avoid accidents and their consequences.
We were recently told from the DGT itself how to navigate turbo roundabouts, a type of intersection very similar to roundabouts, but with slight differences that greatly change their traffic.
We leave you with some penalties that you can find in your mailbox if you break some of these rules while driving around the roundabouts.
Well, in this case, we should not be talking about new campaigns or negative data from DGT, but about a tweet they posted praising the maneuver the two cars performed at the roundabout. Quite an example.
“Still wondering how to bypass the roundabout? You can follow the example of these two vehicles in Ávila. These two cars show us how to drive and exit the roundabout. A good practice that deserves applause”Explain on twitter. We leave you the video.
Are you still in doubt about how to get around the roundabout? You can follow the example of these two vehicles in #avila. Two 🚗🚐 show us how we should move in and out of the roundabout. Good practice that deserves 👏👏👏.#So yes pic.twitter.com/O7jHGwlXxN

At the same time, the maneuvers were carried out perfectly. As you already know, entering from the right lane is mandatory when it is free and possible.
Once you’re inside, if it’s impossible to get out due to traffic, it’s safest to go around again to find a suitable spot. So when a driver approaches his exit, he must be in the outer lane and signal so that others know that he is leaving the roundaboutjust like they make videos.
“Indicators are a form of expression by which we warn of the maneuvers we are about to perform in order to avoid accidents on the road and make the movement smoother.”reminiscent of DGT.
As we can see, the DGT is following these very special areas very closely and good maneuvers caught on camera should also be presented to the entire population.
