Visual Guide

Straight ahead at a roundabout
Approach in the correct lane and signal off clearly when leaving.

What This Helps With

Going ahead is often the second exit, but signs and road markings can change the lane you need.

The Simple Version

Use the left lane unless signs or markings say otherwise. Usually do not signal on approach for ahead, then signal left after the exit before yours.

Common Mistakes

  • Assuming every ahead exit uses the left lane.
  • Forgetting to signal off.
  • Drifting across lanes while exiting.
  • Missing road arrows on approach.

What Examiners Care About

They want lane discipline and a signal that helps others understand when you are leaving.

Practise On Your Next Lesson

Ask for roundabouts where road markings change the normal lane choice.

Ask Your Instructor

"What told us which lane to use for ahead?"
