Yet, with sufficient knowledge of how traffic works and following the rules, you can easily navigate your way around them. However, the roundabout road rules vary based on the number of lanes at a particular roundabout. Here is a detailed guide on how to drive around a roundabout in the UAE.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-steps-to-follow-for-navigating-a-roundabout\"><strong>Steps to follow for navigating a roundabout<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow these directions for proper and safe navigation around a roundabout in the UAE:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>1. Recognise the Roundabout Sign<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One way to ensure proper navigation around a roundabout is to check your route beforehand for a roundabout. It has a specific <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dubizzle.com\/blog\/cars\/uae-traffic-signs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">traffic sign in the UAE<\/a> with a circle and arrows to indicate traffic flow. As per the UAE road laws, vehicles are left-handed. Therefore, the traffic flow at a roundabout always moves in an anti-clockwise direction.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Roundabout traffic sign \" class=\"wp-image-16047\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104159\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-28062021-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Roundabout has a specific sign with a circle and arrows to indicate traffic flow\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>2. Selecting the Correct Lane<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the exit you will make from the roundabout, select the appropriate lane on spotting the roundabout sign. Also, avoid last minute lane changes by moving into the right lane as early as possible.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>3. Stopping at the Intersection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Only enter the roundabout when it is safe to do so. This means stopping and letting the vehicles already in the lane and moving in your direction from the left. Moreover, maintain good steering control, use mirrors and indicators properly and drive at the right speed. This will communicate your intention clearly to the other motorists on the road.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>4. Navigating around specific type of roundabout<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In addition to the general directions to follow, there are a few specific requirements you need to take into account when navigating around a particular type of roundabout. Usually, there are two and three-lane roundabouts that you need to know about.&nbsp;Also always check the traffic coming to the roundabout at your left and give way to any car coming from that way&nbsp;and enter the roundabout if there is no more traffic in your lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-two-lane-roundabout\">Two-lane Roundabout<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-1024x640.jpg\" alt=\"Two-lane roundabout\" class=\"wp-image-16051\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-1024x640.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-640x400.jpg 640w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-421x263.jpg 421w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-558x349.jpg 558w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-363x227.jpg 363w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-250x156.jpg 250w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-368x230.jpg 368w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-774x484.jpg 774w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-672x420.jpg 672w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-437x273.jpg 437w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-301x188.jpg 301w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-240x150.jpg 240w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-771x482.jpg 771w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-669x418.jpg 669w, https:\/\/d2hucwwplm5rxi.cloudfront.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/13104429\/How-to-Drive-at-Roundabouts-in-the-UAE-body-C-28062021-435x272.jpg 435w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Traffic flow around two-lane roundabout<br>Infographic source: RTA, Dubai <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-a-first-exit\"><strong>a.
