📖 Rule 80 Full Regulations & Explanation

Safety at Roundabouts : Sharing the Road with Long Vehicles

Give Plenty of Room

Long vehicles require significantly more space than standard cars to successfully navigate the turns of a roundabout .

Identify Maneuvering Space

Recognize the extra area the vehicle needs to get around the bend and ensure you do not ride within that specific space .

Avoid Overlapping Paths

Do not enter or ride in the space the long vehicle is currently using or is about to use to complete its turn .

Prioritize Safety Over Speed

It is often safer to wait behind or apart from the long vehicle until it has completely cleared the roundabout .
