You want to drive straight through this roundabout. Which lane should you use?

• A. Use the left lane.
• B. Use the right lane.
• C. Use either the left or the right lane.
• D. You cannot go straight here.

Answer: (C)

In a roundabout with two lanes, going straight through to the opposite side doesn’t lock you into a single lane. If your intended path is to go straight, either lane can lead you there, as long as you choose a lane before you enter and stay in that lane as you circulate. The key is not to weave between lanes inside the circle—signal before you exit and pick the lane that will carry you to your chosen exit. If you were turning to a different exit, you’d need the lane that leads to that exit, but for going straight, either lane works.
