UK drivers can't agree on the proper way to use odd three-way roundabout

UK drivers are struggling to agree on the rules and proper usage of an unusual three-way roundabout.

The United Kingdom has some very quirky elements to driving, and there are a myriad of roundabout types as well that can sometimes be quite confusing.

One kind has emerged on the ‘Dull Men Club’ Facebook page, discussing a three-way roundabout which has seemingly got some people in a state of confusion.

It has led to nearly 200 comments discussing how to drive through it, and whether it is different from a normal British roundabout.

Why three-way roundabout is confusing so many UK drivers

The poster on the Facebook page states that they and their partner shout at each other regularly at the roundabout.

They expand on this, saying their partner always shouts that someone ‘pulled out on him.’

In Britain, roundabouts require you to give way to the cars on the right before you enter them.

However, on this one, if you approach from the bottom, there is only an exit to the left and dead ahead.

So the driver of the car has argued that it’s the only roundabout in the UK that defies the standard rule.

They claim you instead have to give way from the left.

However, many in the comments have disputed this, saying the standard rules apply.

Other users say to still give way from the right.

Fellow drivers state that you must still give way from the right in this roundabout.

That would mean giving way, in this case, to the exit that you may normally call ‘ahead.’

Giving away to the direct right would simply be doing so to someone’s driveway.

Some have said that the double dotted lines on the ‘straight through’ roads indicate extra caution.

That would simply mean to give way to traffic in general, not just from the right or left.

This particular part of the UK network caused quite a debate.

Some also said that, as it is not a T-junction, to always give way to the right.

It is remarkable how a quite innocuous piece of road network caused such a lively discussion.
