Roundabout; compulsory direction

What it means

You are approaching a roundabout and must travel around it in the direction shown, that is clockwise-right. The sign prescribes the direction of travel.

What it requires of you

The sign says nothing about priority. Who has priority when entering you read from the shark's teeth or from sign B6 at the entry — those stand apart from it.

Where it stands

Before the roundabout, usually together with warning sign J9 and shark's teeth on the road surface.

How far it applies

Applies to the roundabout it stands before.

Who it applies to
