Signing

The overall concept for roundabout signing is similar to general intersection signing. Proper regulatory control, advance warning, and directional guidance are required to avoid driver expectancy related problems. Signs should be located where they have maximum visibility for road users but a minimal likelihood of even momentarily obscuring pedestrians as well as motorcyclists and bicyclists, who are the most vulnerable of all roundabout users. Signing needs are different for urban and rural applications and for different categories of roundabouts.
