Express test of traffic rules — who should yield at the roundabout.

The task concerns the topic of passing intersections. Who among the drivers is obligated to yield in the situation depicted in the image?

The task was proposed by Autokult.

Answer options

1. Driver of the red car.
2. Driver of the yellow car.

Analysis of the problem

At the roundabout, the driver of the yellow car enters the right lane, while the driver of the red car is changing lanes from the left to the right on the roundabout.

Let's read clause 16.12 of the Traffic Regulations:

'Priority at uncontrolled intersections where a roundabout is organized and marked with road sign 4.10 'Roundabout', is granted to vehicles already moving in the circle.'

Therefore, the driver of the red car has priority, and the driver of the yellow car is obligated to yield.

Correct answer

№2

Previously, we proposed problems for testing knowledge of traffic rules:

• Traffic rules test: who will yield to a tram at the roundabout?
• Traffic rules test for smart drivers: how to pass an intersection?

This problem’s analysis considers the situation at the roundabout and provides a reference to the relevant provision of the Traffic Regulations, confirming that the driver of the red car has priority.
