Confused about signaling on this double mini-roundabout (Gorleston Rd)
Hello! Is there a general blanket rule for roundabouts, specifically regarding this double mini-roundabout on Gorleston Road?
How would you signal navigating this from bottom to top?
Is it always signal LEFT for the 1st exit, regardless of whether it physically looks straight ahead?
Looking at this layout from the bottom of the image driving straight up, my instructor expects me to do something that feels a bit counterintuitive. They want me to:
Signal RIGHT on approach to the first roundabout
Signal LEFT on approach to the second roundabout
I totally get the left signal for the second roundabout (since staying on Gorleston Rd is technically the 1st exit there). But for the first roundabout, I am technically just continuing straight up the road.
Why would I signal right at the first roundabout? Wouldn't signaling right confuse other road users (like someone waiting at Gresham Ave) into thinking I'm trying to do a full U-turn or going all the way around?
Would love to get some perspective on how strict driving examiners are on this specific geometry vs. real-world driver confusion. Thanks!
