Do they?
I guess it probably depends on the country. Here in Sweden I'm pretty sure you can drive in whatever lane you like (unless they're explicitly labeled). But normal lane-swithching rules apply ofc and, importantly, when you enter a roundabout you have to yield to traffic in all lanes of the roundabout, not just the outermost one.
- josephg 3y agoYeah here in Australia, 2 lane roundabouts usually require that people taking the 1st exit use the outermost lane and people using the 3rd+ exits use the inner lane of the roundabout. (And if you’re going straight you can use either). If you’re in the inner lane of the roundabout and want to leave, you usually don’t change lane while in the roundabout, but signal and exit by cutting across the outer lane on your way out.
