Departure from the roundabout from the second row. Priority for vehicles in the roundabout. Video lesson on circular motion

The rules of the road contain some subtleties and tricks that the driver learns with experience. One of these “rules of caution” regulates driving at roundabouts. Although it would seem that crossing the ring is easier than ever, but still, many drivers are confused in this situation. So, in order not to fall into one of the pitfalls, you need to thoroughly understand everything.

Amendments in 2017

In November 2017, new rules were adopted. The bill states that cars moving in a circle now have unquestioned authority. In other words, those wishing to enter the ring must give way to cars moving along it.

What is a roundabout

A roundabout, in other words, a circle or ring, is a section of the road where cars drive counterclockwise. This principle applies in countries where traffic is on the right side of the road. Left-hand movement of cars means driving around the ring in the opposite direction, that is, clockwise. Traffic on the ring will continue until the car leaves this section of the road.

Crossroads of this type are not regulated, traffic lights are not placed on them. Priority for entry and exit is determined by road signs and markings. When entering such an intersection, it is not necessary to turn on the turn signals. The driver should use the turn signal only if he is going to change lanes.

Note: often large roundabouts are placed around squares and other areas of considerable size, and on them, in turn, pedestrian crossings are installed, which are not regulated in any way. Here, the driver, moving along the ring, must pass the pedestrian who crosses the road in this section without fail.

Road signs in this area

The main confusion now occurs with the signs in front of the ring. The fact is that until a certain moment in front of this site there was only a sign 4.3 "Roundabout Circulation" in the form of a blue circle with three white hands directed against the clock. It meant (and still means) that the cars on the ring let all the cars that enter the circle pass, that is, the rule of interference on the right is in effect. Accordingly, incoming motorists can safely and freely continue to move without slowing down.

However, the Government of the Russian Federation issued Decree No. 316 dated May 10, 2010, which also allows signs 2.4 to be installed near ring roads "Give Way" and 2.5 "Moving without stopping is prohibited". This means that in this case, cars moving around the ring have priority. In other words, a motorist entering a roundabout must slow down and let all vehicles moving along the ring pass, otherwise such a driver will become a violator. Then he can safely enter the intersection and move further along his lane to the desired exit.

In addition to the signs described above, a sign 2.1 may also be present. "The main road". Here, the one who moves along the main road has the right to drive without letting anyone through, and, accordingly, motorists moving along the secondary road stop and give way to him. The direction marked with a thick line on the sign is considered to be the main one.

Lane selection at an intersection

The Code of Road Traffic does not contain a separate provision for entering roundabouts. However, paragraph 8.5 says that before changing the direction of your movement on a certain section of the road, that is, turning left or right, as well as making a U-turn in the opposite direction, you must necessarily stand in the rightmost lane in advance. An exception to this rule are just those very roundabouts.

That is, the motorist is not obliged to enter the ring exactly on the right. He can enter there from any lane, but he must also enter the intersection according to the lane he occupies. In other words, driving from the extreme left lane, the driver does not have the right to get into the extreme right lane - this will be a gross violation and can provoke an emergency. In such a situation, most driving instructors say that the exit is in the equivalent lane.

In the case when the number of lanes on the ring does not match their number on the previous section of the road, the driver must perform a maneuver in advance, changing lanes. You can also rebuild later, that is, after entering the circle. Then it will be possible to enter the left lane only by letting other road users pass.

Rules for driving a roundabout

Before entering the ring section of the road, it is very important to follow the signs that determine the traffic rules in this place. As mentioned above, the corresponding sign 4.3 “Roundabout” is obligatory in front of the roundabout, there may be a sign 2.5 “Movement without stopping is prohibited”, 2.4 “Give way”, 2.1 “Main road”, as well as signs indicating which direction has the highest priority.

In most cases, this intersection implies that the ring is the main road, but not always the other roads are of secondary importance. Moving along the ring, the motorist must drive in his own lane so as not to interfere with the movement of other vehicles and not provoke emergency situations on the road.

Right turn

The right turn maneuver at the roundabout must be done after making sure that the cars moving in the neighborhood are ready to let you pass. It is necessary to rebuild in the rightmost lane with the corresponding turn signal turned on, after slowing down.

Left turn

You must turn left while driving at a roundabout in accordance with the rules. That is, before performing this maneuver, the driver must rebuild his vehicle in the leftmost lane. If there are only two lanes at the roundabout, then you need to start the maneuver from the left, and upon reaching the desired exit, change lanes to the right and make a turn.

Important: When turning, never forget to turn on the appropriate signal, in this way you can at least avoid the displeasure of other drivers, and at the maximum prevent a collision.

To turn left at a roundabout, where there are three traffic lanes, you need to change lanes to the right twice. These actions require special care and attention. A road user must objectively assess the current situation in a particular area.

It is possible to overcome the ring section of the road by the described methods, if no other order of movement is determined by signs or markings. Looking around carefully, you can easily understand who has priority on a particular road segment.

Going straight

Roundabouts often have roads adjoining them, and there may be several of them. Based on this feature, the driver must determine the driving strategy and tactics of maneuvers. When the number of rows on the ring is more than two, preference should be given to the middle one. If there are two lanes on the road, then the choice should be made based on the current situation. When driving on the main road, you must make sure that other cars notice you and let you through. If the road on which the vehicle is moving is of secondary importance, then the driver needs to stop and give way to all passers-by.

Passing the ring road "through", you can stay in the right lane. But sometimes this behavior can somewhat complicate the movement of other cars. A vehicle moving in the middle lane will need free space to maneuver to the right. Therefore, in order to avoid trouble, it is better to immediately occupy the central lane.

Before entering the ring road, the driver must stop and give way to all pedestrians.

Departure from the roundabout

Having understood how to enter a roundabout and how to drive on it, it is time to figure out how to exit from it. Every driver knows that you need to leave the rings only on the extreme right lane. Having assessed the situation, the driver must let pass all the cars traveling to his right, and then he can already change lanes.

Important: you can enter a roundabout from any lane, but you can only leave it from the rightmost lane.

Among other things, the ring road is notable for the fact that overtaking is allowed on this section. In addition, the car must stop no closer than 5 meters to the confluence of the intersection with the main roadway.

Responsibility and fines for incorrect driving at the intersection

A driver who violates traffic rules at a roundabout is guaranteed to receive a fine. Traffic police officers set the amount of payment depending on the offense itself and any of its features. Having left the ring road at a red traffic light, a citizen will be required to pay a fine of 1000 rubles, and if he repeatedly violated this prohibition, then payment will increase to 5000 rubles. Sometimes, as a second measure of punishment, the court may deprive the driver of the rights for a period of 4 to 6 months.

In addition to this violation, a representative of law enforcement agencies may impose a fine on the driver in the following cases:

• the movement of the car in the opposite lane;
• if the motorist did not give way to a vehicle that follows the main road;
• if the car stopped on a ring section of the road;
• if, during a lane change maneuver, the motorist did not turn on the turn signal;
• when leaving the roundabout, not from the extreme right lane.

When the violator did not provide an advantage on the ring road, the traffic police officer may issue a fine for various reasons. So, a driver who did not allow other road users to enter a roundabout in a place where there are no road signs is subject to a fine of 1000 rubles. The same amount will be paid by the violator who ignored these signs, which are installed in front of the intersection.

Driver loses driver's license, if it violates the direction of movement in a circle. It is worth recalling that cars move counterclockwise along the ring road.

According to the updated rules of behavior on the road, you can only stand at a roundabout only in front of the crossed carriageway, that is, 5 meters before leaving the ring. If a motorist violated this rule, then he will pay a fine of 500 rubles.

Summing up, we can say that at a roundabout it is important to be extremely careful and follow the traffic rules as accurately as possible. The most important thing is to choose the right lanes for maneuvers.

The first roundabout was organized in Paris (around the Arc de Triomphe) in 1901. An obligatory element of this type of intersections is the presence of an "island" - a zone not accessible to the movement of vehicles. Approaching the island, vehicles slow down and move around it in a strictly counterclockwise direction (in relation to right-hand traffic), until leaving it in the direction they need. The exit from the roundabout takes place, too, only to the right.

For the most part, such intersections are not equipped with traffic lights and are unregulated. In addition to achieving aesthetic goals (beautiful clubs, steles, etc.), the organization of this type of intersections allows:

1. Increase (by reducing the speed of exit to it) the safety of the intersection. Low speed crashes have much less consequences.
2. Increase throughput. It doesn’t always work out, but all other things being equal, circles do better than regular intersections.
3. Reduce waiting time (in the absence of a traffic light, you do not have to wait for a green light).
4. Increase the number of paths connected by the intersection to almost any number (it all depends on the diameter of the circle). While a traffic light intersection usually regulates no more than 4 access roads.

In addition, circles are more environmentally friendly and less noisy. Allows you to further decorate the area. The cost of their maintenance is less (due to the lack of traffic lights). True, they take up a lot of space.

As for the organization of traffic, starting from November 08, 2017, vehicles moving in a circle have priority when crossing intersections of this type. The rule “yields to the one who has”, which is valid when crossing unregulated intersections, has ceased to operate in relation to roundabouts.

What signs are placed at roundabouts?

To designate a roundabout in the SDA, there is a sign 4.3 "Roundabout". This sign is prescriptive and informs that movement is allowed only in the direction indicated by the arrows, the first turn is only to the right. U-turn at the entrance to such an intersection is prohibited.

Since November last year (according to clause 13.11 (1) of the SDA), this sign also informs about the priority of cars moving in a circle. Until this date, in order to notify drivers of the presence of such a priority (at a specific intersection), sign 2.4 “Give way” was additionally installed.

Shortly before entering the intersection, sign 1.7 “Roundabout” is also placed, its task is to inform the driver about the approach to the intersection, which has certain specifics.

Priority signs can be set together with the prescriptive sign. Installing sign 2.1 “Main road” at the entrance to the circle will mean that vehicles entering the intersection will have priority. Priority signs are higher in importance than prescriptive ones. If there is a traffic light at such an intersection, the driver must obey the traffic signals. A working traffic light has the highest priority. Green - traffic is allowed, red - it is forbidden. - one of the most serious violations of traffic rules. And it is severely punished.

Organization of traffic in lanes

When hitting such an intersection, many drivers have a question, further.

Paragraph 8.5 of the SDA states that the entrance to the circle can be carried out:

1. With a multi-lane access road - from any lane (both right and left).
2. With a single-lane - the vehicle must enter the intersection on the right (extreme) lane. And only after that, his driver has the right, by turning on the left turn signal, to move to the adjacent left lane (clause 8.6).

You can leave the intersection without violating the rules only from the far right lane. The driver must take care of the rebuilding in advance. Trying to turn from the left lane, he creates a danger to the vehicle moving in the right lane. At the same time, in the event of a collision, it will be he who is guilty of an accident.

Moving in a circle, traffic participants must observe (if appropriate signs and markings are available) the lane of traffic and change lanes only to exit the ring. That is, when crossing such an intersection, he must make only two turns, and both to the right. The first time to get on the circle, the second time when leaving it.

When choosing a lane in a circle (when it has three or more lanes), you should keep:

• to the right if you need the nearest exit;
• in the middle, if the goal is to drive straight through the intersection;
• in the left lane if you need an exit that leads to the left.

Compliance with these rules allows you to avoid unnecessary fuss at the intersection associated with rebuilding cars. The capacity of the intersection is increased, and the likelihood of an accident is reduced.

The rules of the road require the driver to indicate a change in the direction of his vehicle with direction indicators. In the event of a malfunction of the turn signals, the signal should be given by hand in accordance with clause 8.1 of the SDA.

So, entering the circle, and then at the exit from it, you must activate the right turn signal. This indicates to motorists moving in the immediate vicinity their turn to the right.

If, in the process of moving in a circle, the driver needs to move from the right lane to the left (to move to the far exit), he must inform others about this by turning on the left turn signal. Ignoring the need to give signals with direction indicators when performing maneuvers is an administrative violation that entails a fine.

It must be remembered that turning on the turn signal does not give the driver an advantage. When making a maneuver, he must first make sure that he does not interfere with other motorists.

When driving through an intersection, a driver can violate (through ignorance or intent) a number of traffic rules, for which he can be punished. The punishment for violating traffic rules is a fine, or even deprivation of rights for a certain period (in accordance with the severity of the deed).

Possible violations of the rules in roundabouts in 2020 are as follows:

1. Passage to a prohibiting traffic light (if the intersection is equipped with it) or a traffic controller. Article 12.12 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Fine 1000 rub. (5000 or deprivation of rights, in case of repeated violation).
2. Failed to give way to the advantaged vehicle (driving into the circle, interfering with the driver who was already on it). Article 12.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Fine 1000 rub.
3. The exit from the intersection is not from the far right lane. Article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Fine 500 rubles. (or a warning).
4. Turn signals not on. Article 12.14 of the Code of Administrative Offenses. Fine 500 rubles. (or a warning).
5. Driving against the direction of the roundabout. A very dangerous act, like any. Sanctions - 5000 rubles. or deprivation of rights for up to six months (Article 12.15).

That is, there are no specific penalties that are imposed precisely for the wrong passage in a circular motion. These are all common, for any circumstances, violations.

There is no clear indication of the prohibition of stopping on sections of the road with roundabouts. Therefore, you can park on the circle if there are no signs prohibiting it on this section of the road, and if the stopped car does not violate a number of distance requirements:

1. Before the pedestrian crossing (less than 5 m).
2. From the stopped vehicle to the dividing strip, or the opposite edge (should be more than 3 m).
3. Before the intersection with the roadway of the intersection (less than 5 m).
4. Close to public transport stops (less than 15 m).

And other rules governing the stopping of vehicles on the roadway.

Conclusion

There is nothing wrong with roundabouts. You just need to remember and clearly understand the following information:

1. The "Roundabout" sign, which gives priority to vehicles moving in a circle, refers to unregulated intersections of equivalent roads. That is, in the absence of other signs and traffic lights (regulators).
2. If the intersection is regulated, then the driver is guided by the signals of a traffic light or a traffic controller. Green - go, red - stop.
3. If the roads are not equivalent (which is determined by the signs "Main road" or "Give way"), then the driver moves in accordance with the status of his road. Regardless of whether it is on the circle or on the access road.
4. It is necessary to turn (when leaving the circle) from the right lane so that the driver does not have an obstacle on the right.

Everything else is a general application of traffic rules.

The vast majority of motorists drive around the circle several times a day and, by and large, do not think about whether they are doing it right. But more than 90% of drivers move around the ring in violation of traffic rules. And this is despite the fact that most of the drivers have a significant driving experience.

Unfortunately, most motorists either simply do not know the rules for driving at roundabouts, or simply ignore them. However, this should not be surprising, since the traffic rules still no separate item, which would explain in detail to drivers how to move along such an intersection correctly.

Traffic experts will point to Rule 13.9, but he only talks about entering the ring in just two cases: the circle is the main road and the secondary one. This paragraph does not describe roundabouts. The rules for driving a circle, in general, are not described anywhere. And paragraph 13.9 teaches drivers to only look at the signs when everywhere on the ring.

If there are signs 4.3 and 2.4, then the ring traffic will be the main one. When only sign 4.3 is present, the circle will be secondary and drivers entering it will have priority. Drivers driving in circles will have to give way to those entering, since those are the hindrance on the right.

Pay attention again for the presence of priority signs. If they are not there, then those who enter the ring have an advantage, and not those who leave it.

At one time, amendments to the rules for driving roundabouts brought confusion to the heads of drivers. Among motorists, the opinion has spread that the circle is always the main one. This has led to many accidents. Proper circular motion involves taking into account signs.

Driving through a roundabout begins at the entrance to the roundabout. And here, novice drivers have the most questions. Why? Because in most driving schools, the teaching staff has driving experience since the days of the USSR.

The old rules for driving roundabouts required drivers to keep the left lane when entering. Accordingly, teachers teach future drivers to do the same. But the rules have long since changed.

In the modern rules of the road there is clause 8.5, which requires drivers when turning right or left, as well as when turning, take an extreme position on the road taking into account the side of the turn. An exception is the passage of a roundabout. That is, today the driver has the right to enter the circle in any lane.

At the same time, the motorist should not forget that if he drove from the right lane to the ring, then you need to take it on the ring traffic right lane. Entered from the left lane - occupy the left inner lane.

And also, when choosing a lane for entering the ring, it is useful to remember the exit. Let's take a classic three-lane roundabout as an example. When the driver needs to take the first exit, it is reasonable to choose the right lane. If you need a second exit, then it is better to choose the middle lane. And in order to use the third exit, choose the left lane on the circle.

This choice of lanes of entry to roundabouts reduces the number of traffic jams. However, according to the traffic rules, nothing prevents the driver from riding on any of the selected lanes.

In the dry residue we have:

• you can start moving in a circle from any of the lanes;
• you need to start moving along the ring in the same lane along which the entrance to the ring was made;
• the choice should be made taking into account the desired exit.

Turn signals at the entrance to the circle and movement on it

Very often, approaching a roundabout, you can see an amazing picture: the vast majority of cars are standing with the right turn signal on, and only a few with the left. Which driver is right and who is wrong?

If you really learned traffic rules, then you should know that the drivers who turned on the right turn signal when entering the ring are right. The fact is that the circle is still the same intersection. Accordingly, all turn signals on it should be exactly the same. If the driver turns left, then he turns on the left turn signal, right - right.

The same rule applies to rebuilding. When entering the roundabout, the driver always moves to the right. So he must turn on the right turn signal. It's not hard to remember this. Turn on the turn signal to which you turn the steering wheel.

When driving around the ring, if the driver does not change lanes, it is recommended to turn off the turn signal and turn it on when making any maneuver.

As we have already found out, you can drive through the ring in any lane. But here it should be remembered that the constant use of the right lane without congresses is quite dangerous. The fact is that out of ignorance or non-compliance with traffic rules, every second motorist seeks to jump into the exit he needs from the inside, or even worse from the left lane.

At the same time, these drivers firmly believe that if another motorist is in the right lane along the ring, then he must definitely leave the circle. Accidents in such situations happen very often. Therefore, you should not abuse the traffic in the right lane if you do not need to use the nearest exit.

The same paragraph 8.5 of the SDA will help us answer this question. Recall that the rules prescribe the driver when turning right, left or turning around in advance to occupy extreme position on the road corresponding to the direction of rotation. It turns out that exit from the ring is possible only from the right lane.

However, exceptions are possible due to markings and signs. That is, on the pavement in front of the exit from the ring we see arrows indicating the possibility of moving to the right from two lanes at once, and there are signs above the road indicating traffic in lanes. If there are no special signs and markings, then you can only move off the ring into the right lane.

Does this rule apply in real life? Of course not. Every second driver ignores these rules. Motorists can leave the circle in any lane and from any lane.

It is very common to see drivers directing their cars to the right exit from the inner lane of the roundabout. Such violators do not even think about the fact that they are violating traffic rules and in the event of an accident, traffic police officers find them guilty, with all the ensuing consequences.

Let's consider a situation where a driver is moving along the inner lane of a circle and he needs to move into one of the nearest exits from the ring. How to do it right? Taking into account the rules of rebuilding.

When driving around the ring, you need to give signals with turn signals in a timely manner and do not forget about the interference on the right. That is, the driver must first move to the right lane to then be able to move off the circle without violating the rules. Of course, with such a rebuilding, it will be necessary to let everyone who moves to the right pass.

Driving straight around the ring

Often in large cities in front of large roundabouts you can see a combination of signs 4.3 and 2.1.

The latter has an explanatory sign indicating the direction. Most often, the main road on such a ring means driving straight around the ring.

Features of the passage of such an intersection:

• In the event that a motorist intends to drive straight, he can do this without stopping, using his pre-emptive right. Of course, you need to make sure that other drivers pass it.
• In the event that he enters the ring road on the main road, but intends to use another exit in the future, then the driver, when leaving the main road, will have to give way to cars entering the circle from the right.

Since the passage of such intersections has always caused difficulties for drivers, today traffic lights are increasingly used instead of signs. This greatly simplifies the rules of the road. Unfortunately, only new intersections with roundabouts and the main road are equipped with traffic lights.

Responsibility for traffic violations on the ring

Drivers who violate the rules on the circle can be fined if the violation is recorded by the traffic police. The amount of the fine depends on the severity of the violation. So, when leaving the ring with ignoring the prohibitory signal of a traffic light, the driver will be fined for 1,000 rubles.

In case of a repeated violation, the driver will be fined in the amount of 5,000 rubles or may revoke a driver's license for up to six months. The choice of one or another type of punishment is taken by the court.

When driving through a roundabout, the driver may be fined for the following violations:

1. If he did not provide an advantage when entering the ring.
2. The driver was moving in the opposite direction to the general flow.
3. He did not use turn signals when changing lanes at the ring.
4. The driver left the roundabout from the wrong lane.
5. He parked at the crossroads.

Failure to provide an advantage is punishable by a fine in 1,000 rubles regardless of whether the relevant road signs were installed or not.

In our country, the ring traffic is carried out counterclockwise. You can't go around the circle in a clockwise direction. Such a violation punishable by disqualification.

The new rules allow parking on the ring only if the car is within 5 meters from the intersection of the carriageways. If this condition is not met, the driver will be fined. for 500 rubles.

When entering a roundabout under sign 2.4, only those drivers who are already moving in the right lane of the circle should be allowed to pass. You do not need to wait at all for the inner lanes of the circle to be free. You can immediately continue driving in the right lane.

In such a situation, you need to be extremely careful, since there is a high probability that other drivers who do not comply with traffic rules will drive out of the inner circle in front of you.

Try to always follow the rules of movement around the ring. But don't blindly follow the letter of the law. Performing any maneuver assess the situation objectively around you. This will help you avoid fines and accidents.

Do I need to turn on the right turn signal
when entering a roundabout?

RULES-6

TRAFFIC LAWS:

TOTAL CONTRADICTIONS

M. Sedogin

(continued, see beginning)

Chapter 12
when entering a roundabout?
For many years, almost all drivers, without exception, when entering a roundabout, if they turn on the right “turn signal”, then only in the case of rebuilding in the right lane and turning right from the ring at the first “branch”. If the driver intends to drive the ring “straight” or “left”, he usually does not do this, but, on the contrary, turns on the left “turn signal” to show the rest of the traffic participants that he does not intend to leave the “ring” at the next turn, but vice versa, will keep to the left side of the roadway so as not to interfere with those turning right at the next exit. And only then, before “his” exit from the ring, he gives a right turn signal. This scheme of actions is the most informative and natural.

However, in one of the telecasts, Chugunov, a responsible officer of the Samara traffic police, pointed out to all Russian drivers that they were acting incorrectly, that it was necessary to turn on the right “turn signal” when entering a roundabout. Well, what can I say: if the issue is approached in a primitive-formal way, it may seem that he is right. In the Rules and in the "Commentary..." the roundabout is considered as an intersection with a one-way road (a variant of the T-junction), and therefore, entering such an intersection means turning right. And there are no exceptions in the use of signals for such cases in the Rules. And in the "Comments ..." there is even a picture from which the position of the authors is clear without comment (although the picture itself refers to another issue):

Although I saw somewhere the published explanations of other senior traffic police officials that the inclusion of the right “turn signal” before entering the roundabout was required by the Rules in force in the 60s, but now it is not.

But one thing is clear: if tomorrow everyone starts to comply with the "Chugunov's rule", then with the current traffic density, all roundabouts will turn into a "colliding cars" attraction...

But, on the other hand, there is no direct instruction in the Rules to turn on the right turn signal before entering the ring, and the opinion of Chugunov (and even the head of the Main Directorate of the GAI of the Russian Federation Fedorov) is only an interpretation of the Rules, one of many. It is possible, for example, to consider the entrance to the ring as a "curvilinear section of the road", where, according to the same "Comments ...", a turn signal should not be given.

Advice: it is better to act at the entrance to the ring in the way that modern traffic conditions require (see the beginning of the chapter), and not in the way that the Rules of Chugunov and the authors of the "Comments ..." interpret. It is unlikely that the traffic police inspector will get the driver, "wrong", in his opinion, who gave the signal. But if you follow the opinion of Chugunov and the authors of “Comments ...” in this matter, you can easily confuse everyone and end up in a stupid accident.

P.S. This topic had an unexpected continuation.

In November 2003, I received an e-mail from the head of the traffic police of Samara, I.A. Rudakov, which said:

"Your advice<действовать при въезде на кольцо так, как этого требуют
current traffic conditions > unlikely to be accepted by a court when considering
cases of accidents. You should also not use this advice when passing
qualified exams for obtaining the right to drive transport
means. For example: question 6 of the ticket? 37 (approved by the State Traffic Safety Inspectorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
Russia) was specifically assigned to the condemned case. And in the explanations to him
says:<Всегда, прежде чем поворачивать руль (кроме как на вираже дороги
without an intersection) - you need to turn on the direction indicators.<Круговое движение>This
intersection, not<голый>turn of the road. So turn on the turn signal
you are now obliged>.
<Круговое движение>is a special case of an ordinary intersection.
The peculiarity lies in the fact that you can enter it from any lane, but
to leave - only from the extreme right position. Circle movement is not
is considered a left turn, but is considered as a straight ahead (taking into account
your thoughts about<криволинейном участке дороги>). And this is the method of preparation
drivers in driving schools, which was developed by the compilers of the examination
tickets and the authors of the traffic rules of the Russian Federation ... "
www.gibdd.samaranet.ru

The arguments that I used in my answer to I.A. Rudakov to the above letter were as follows:

The tips available on my page on the topic "SDA: continuous contradictions" are not intended for use in passing exams on traffic rules, and this obviously follows from the very form of submission of the material. Most of the contradictions I found in the traffic rules are not resolved within the framework of the current traffic rules, and therefore they are not on the tickets. Although the question about the "turn signal" at the roundabout did suddenly hit the tickets, I know this, and I will certainly put information about it on my page so that someone does not have problems passing the exam. (Which I do now, M.S.). I draw your attention to the fact that tickets for preparing for passing exams for knowledge of traffic rules are not approved by the Government, the Duma or the Ministry of Internal Affairs as a regulatory document, therefore they have no legal force. (But to pass the exams, this collision will have to be remembered, M.S.).
<Всегда, прежде чем поворачивать руль (кроме как на вираже дороги без перекрестка) - надо включить указатели поворота. ???
For proof, this is an extremely unfortunate example. It turns out that if you pass an intersection, moving along the same marked lane, repeating its bends by turning the steering wheel and not wanting to turn anywhere (an intersection with a lane shift, an intersection with a "kink" of lanes, and there are a lot of such intersections in Samara), it turns out, you have to turn on the turn signal too? Such a driver, whose car is constantly randomly flashing direction indicators, like a Christmas tree, misleads other road users, which is prohibited by clause 8.2. SDA.
By the way, when entering most of the “rings”, the direction changes by less than 5-10 degrees, the “turn of the steering wheel” is almost not noticeable here.

Conclusion: the need to turn on (or not turn on) the right turn signal when driving along a curved section of the road does not depend on the presence or absence of an intersection on this section or the angle of rotation of the steering wheel, but depends only on whether there is an intention to rebuild into the right lane or turn onto the road adjacent to the right .
As for the court decision on a possible accident: with all your imagination, it is impossible to imagine an unlit turn signal as the cause of an emergency at the entrance to the ring. The reverse situation is more real.
Therefore, I consider the requirement to turn on the right turn signal when entering a roundabout extremely harmful. Speaking of driving schools: experienced teachers (I know this for sure) just draw the attention of students to this stupidity in tickets and advise using this "rule" only for exams, and after them, immediately forget about it so as not to create an emergency.

Sign 4.3 allows movement only in the direction shown on the sign, while the first turn must be only to the right, a U-turn is prohibited.

Sign 4.3 is not a priority sign, therefore, crossing carriageways with roundabouts without sign 2.1 "Main road" or 2.4 "Give way" is an intersection of equivalent roads, where the driver must give way to vehicles approaching from the right. But that was before November 8, 2017. After the amendments to the SDA come into force, vehicles moving in a circle have an advantage over vehicles that are going to enter the circle. Therefore, the right hand rule no longer works in this situation.

According to clause 8.5 of the SDA, entry into a roundabout with a multi-lane entrance can be carried out from the right and left lanes to any lane of the roundabout, and with a single-lane entrance - as close as possible to the right edge of the carriageway and only to the extreme right lane of the roundabout; then you can change lanes to the left if available (clause 8.6 of the rules). The congress from the circle can only be carried out from the extreme right lane.

Installed:

Just before the roundabout.

Exam questions for sign 4.3 "Roundabout" until 2017. (Ticket number and question may not match)

Ticket number 9 Question number 3

In which directions are you allowed to continue driving?

2. B or C.

3. Only B.

A comment: The obligatory sign 4.3 "Roundabout" allows you to continue moving only in the direction indicated on it (arrows), therefore movement along the trajectory "B" is prohibited. In addition, sign 3.18.1 “No right turn is prohibited” prohibits turning right into the nearest passage “A”.

Ticket number 10 Question number 7

You intend to make a U-turn at an intersection. Which direction indicators should be turned on when entering an intersection?

1. There is no need to turn on the direction indicators in this situation.

3. Right.

A comment: Signaling by direction indicators should be carried out well in advance of the start of the maneuver. At the same time, the signal should not mislead other road users. At such a roundabout, sign 4.3 “Roundabout” you must move in the direction indicated on the sign, turning on the right turn signal before entering.

Ticket number 12 Question number 14

You intend to continue through the roundabout. Should I give way to a truck?

1. No.

2. Yes.

Ticket number 13 Question number 8

From which lane can you enter this intersection?

1. From the right or left.

2. Only on the right.
