Driving In Ireland - Roundabouts
 For
those of you who are unfamiliar with ROUNDABOUTS the following
is some useful information to help get you acquainted to using
them.
Remember all traffic in Ireland drives on the left hand side
of the road and our roundabouts go clockwise.
A Roundabout is indicated by the sign above. When you approach
a roundabout STOP. You have to give way to traffic already
on the roundabout but if the road is clear you may proceed.
There are many roundabouts in and around City Centres, Main
Road Junctions and entrances and exits to Dual Carriageways
(Two lanes each way).
You will also find Roundabouts on exits from Motorways and
in some built up locations. They are built to effectively
replace traffic lights at junctions to allow for a smoother
flow of traffic. You may also
encounter what we call "Mini Roundabouts". These
are effectively smaller and are basically small raised areas
in the centre of a junction. The same rules apply to these
as above.
If this is your first time to encounter
a roundabout please take care. Approach with caution and
only proceed when your exit is clear. |
