Are you used to the fact that when you drive through a roundabout, the cars entering it have to give way for you? That is, look at the “Rotonde” sign and act accordingly? Everyone, forget it. Because the new reaction of traffic rules can play a cruel joke on your driving reflexes, making you the culprit of an accident. In general, from March 1, when approaching a roundabout, the driver must necessarily look not for the “roundabout”, but for priority signs. Now they’re in charge here.
If you enter the circle from the main road (you will see the corresponding signs), those already driving around the circle are obliged to let you through. If they have a “head”, you are already missing. Now the meaning of the “Rotonde” sign is basically reduced to a minimum. It only works where not all intersecting roads have priority over each other. So we can say that the sign in the form of a blue circle with white arrows around the perimeter is now of secondary importance. From now on, the most important thing “on the circle” is to follow the instructions of the priority signs.
Until most motorists readjust their thinking to the changed rules for driving on roundabouts, these places will once again become locations with an increased accident rate.
