Mini Roundabout

[Sam S]

Might sound like a silly question, but

Is it ILLEGAL to make a U-turn at a mini roundabout?

I doubt it. You're just taking the last exit on a roundabout. Just because it's diddy should make do difference. I'll look it up in the ol' highway code for you anyway.

i've done it plenty of times

 

[CarolF]

Totally legal. My ol' copy of highway code says that the same rules apply to mini roundabouts as proper big ones.

<quote> The same rules apply to mini-roundabouts. If possible, pass around the central marking. Watch out for vehicles making a U-turn and for long vehicles which may have to cross the centre of the mini-roundabout.</quote>

Hope this helps!

I've parked on double yellow's plenty of times. Doesn't make it legal!

My car must be a long vehicle, I can't remember the last time I actually drove round one, even the small humped ones.
Never had to do a u-turn at one yet though.

Thats got to be something the martians use as a landing point like crop circles

Yet I have never had a problem with it (Although I did learn to drive round there). The easiest way is to think about it as a circular road with mini roundabouts on, which essentially is what it is.

This one??

That's in Swindon.

True, it just throws me, not used to it
