Originally posted by slartibartfast01 Has anyone ever approached a roundabout with what appears to be traffic lights on the entrance to it (green light) then abruptly realised that the traffic lights were actually attached to a pedestrian crossing immediately before the roundabout? It's a good way to test your brakes
If a roundabout in my region of Spain is within city limits you can bet there
will be traffic lights before and probably after
, mostly for pedestrians. Additionally, all roundabouts have a 40 km/h limit on approach, regardless of location. During driving lessons you're actually instructed to go into them in second gear (well, or third depending on how long your car's gears actually are).
