A circular blue sign displaying three white arrows in a clockwise circle signals a mini-roundabout junction.
Mini-roundabouts feature a small central flush or raised painted dome and require drivers to give way to traffic approaching from their right.
What this sign means
You are approaching a mini-roundabout junction.
You must give way to traffic approaching from your right and drive around the central markings.
- Blue circle with three clockwise white arrows.
- Mandatory give way to traffic from the right.
- All vehicles must pass around the central dome unless large vehicle dimensions physically prohibit doing so.
What to do when you see it
Slow down, select the appropriate lane early, and signal your intended direction as you approach.
Yield to vehicles coming from your right, and enter the mini-roundabout when a safe gap opens.
How this sign is tested
Theory questions test right-of-way rules at mini-roundabouts and sign symbol recognition.
Questions often feature scenarios involving multiple vehicles arriving simultaneously at a mini-roundabout.
Common mistakes
Driving directly over the central painted dome in a standard passenger car instead of driving around it.
Failing to give way to traffic approaching from the right or failing to signal correctly on exit.

Practise road sign questionsFrequently asked questions
Can I drive over the central spot at a mini-roundabout?
Only drivers of large, long vehicles who physically cannot avoid it may drive over the central marking.
Who has priority if four cars arrive at a mini-roundabout simultaneously?
All drivers must exercise caution and courtesy, as no single driver has clear priority; proceed when safe.
Do I need to indicate left when exiting a mini-roundabout?
Indicating when turning left or right on approach is necessary, but exiting signals can be omitted if time is limited.
