In Malaysia, as in many countries that drive on the left side of the road, the rules for navigating a roundabout are akin to those in similar driving environments. Referring to the diagram above depicting the roundabout junction, the following instructions apply to drivers (blue and green cars, respectively):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Driver on the left (blue car) going straight (12 o’clock)<\/strong>:\n
      \n
    • Approach the roundabout in the left lane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Yield to any vehicles already in the roundabout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Maintain a steady speed and enter the roundabout when there is a safe gap in the traffic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Continue through the roundabout to the exit that corresponds to your intended direction (12 o’clock).
      <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • Driver on the right (green car) turning right (3 o’clock)<\/strong>:\n
        \n
      • Approach the roundabout in the right lane.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Yield to any vehicles already in the roundabout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Indicate your intention to turn right by using your right turn signal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • As you approach your exit, yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and any vehicles already in the roundabout.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Exit the roundabout at the 3 o’clock position (right turn).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
