Signaling before exiting a roundabout communicates to other drivers and pedestrians what you’re about to do, making your movements predictable and reducing the chance of surprises inside the circle. As you approach the exit you intend to take, switch on your right-turn signal to indicate that you’re leaving the roundabout. This helps drivers behind you know you’re about to leave, and it also cues pedestrians who may be crossing the exit. You should keep moving and yield to traffic already in the roundabout; stopping inside the circle or exiting without signaling can catch others off guard and create a hazard.
