Are you getting it right at roundabouts?
It’s simple when you know what to do.
Always:
• slow down and be prepared to give way
• be in the correct lane for where you want to go
• give way to all vehicles that will cross your path from the right as you enter the roundabout
• indicate correctly as you enter and leave the roundabout (as shown below).
In the last year 30% of all crashes in Porirua City happened at intersections:
• 18 crashes at Kenepuru/Titahi Bay roundabout
