Cyclist Right Turn on Roundabouts

If you are turning right, you can ride in the left or right-hand lanes and move left when approaching your exit. Position yourself in the centre of your lane if it is safe to do so (see Rule 72) and signal right to indicate that you are not leaving the roundabout. Alternatively, you may feel safer walking your cycle round on the pavement or verge.

💡Example

When turning right on a roundabout, you can ride in either lane and should move to the centre of your lane when safe, signalling your intention. For example, if you're cycling through a busy roundabout to turn right, you might choose the right-hand lane, signal right, and move to the centre of the lane until you reach your exit, or walk your bike on the pavement if it's safer.
