Time for my tuppenceworth?
Left lane on approach for left at the first and straight ahead & onto the second.
Right lane on the first for about turn at the first and for ahead to the second.
Left lane at the second for exit left to single carriageway.
Right lane at the second for right turn or reciprocal/about turn back to the first. Would have to be carefull about which lane to choose when exiting right onto dual carriageway on both the one to the top of the screen as well as the one back to the first roundabout.
In all cases, obey the lane marking, despite them being very faint and indistict.
General rule of thumb on roundabout proceedure and positioning for negotiating same...
Imaging roundabout sign on approach as a clock face on display. You are entering the roundabout from the 6 oclock position on the sign, i.e. at the bottom. If your intended exit is between 6 oclock, through 7,8,9,10 and 11 oclock upto 12 oclock, choose the left lane.
If your exit is past 12, through 1,2,3,4 and 5 oclock and onto the reciprocal at 6 oclock, choose the right lane.
If entering from a dual carriageway, round roundabout and exiting onto a dual carriageway, leave in the same lane you entered but retake the left lane once on the dual carriageway as soon as safely possible. Avoid chopping across lanes on roundabouts. Thats how you get your car nearsided....
Overiding all this, take the time to view and obey the paint on the road. Its the roads engineers way to translate his construction planning into instructions!
Clear as mud!
