Irish
Car Rentals Driving in Ireland - Roundabouts
For
those of you who are unfamiliar with ROUNDABOUTS the
following is some useful information to help get you
acquainted to using them.
Remember
all traffic in Ireland drives on the left hand side of the
road and our roundabouts go clockwise.
A
Roundabout is indicated by the sign above. When you approach
a roundabout STOP. You have to give way to traffic already
on the roundabout but if the road is clear you may proceed.
There
are many roundabouts in and around City Centres, Main Road
Junctions and entrances and exits to Dual Carriageways (Two
lanes each way).
You
will also find Roundabouts on exits from Motorways and in
some built up locations. They are built to effectively
replace traffic lights at junctions to allow for a smoother
flow of traffic.
You
may also encounter what we call "Mini
Roundabouts". These are effectively smaller and are
basically small raised areas in the centre of a junction.
The same rules apply to these as above.
If
this is your first time to encounter a roundabout please
take care. Approach with caution and only proceed when your
exit is clear.
More
information about Road signs is available from the official
Road Safety Website here:
On
these pages we have detailed a quick guide for you to help
