Where must cyclists ride on roundabouts?

• A. Left-hand side lane
• B. Right-hand lane
• C. In the middle lane
• D. They should dismount

Answer: (A)

When riding on roundabouts, cyclists should normally stay on the left-hand side of the carriageway and ride in the left-hand lane as they circulate. This keeps your path predictable for drivers and fits the standard traffic flow, reducing the risk of clashes as you enter, move around, and exit the roundabout. You shouldn’t be in the middle or right-hand lanes by default, and dismounting isn’t required just to use a roundabout. If there’s a dedicated cycle lane or marked route around the roundabout, follow those markings, but otherwise keep to the left.
