Road and traffic signs

Roundabout ahead

You see this triangular sign. What is ahead?

  • A mini-roundabout where you give way to the right
  • No entry to a roundabout
  • You have priority at the roundabout
  • There is a roundabout ahead
    Correct

Why?

A red triangle warns of a hazard ahead — it does not give an order. The circular-arrow symbol means a roundabout is coming, so slow down and be ready to give way. The blue circular sign, by contrast, is a mini-roundabout you must go round. The Highway Code groups all such warnings under triangular signs.
