# Mini-roundabout — UK road sign

This circular sign alerts drivers to an upcoming mini-roundabout where traffic gives way to the right.

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.

## Test yourself on this one

Road and traffic signs is the biggest category in the question bank with 102 questions, and signs turn up inside other categories too. Work through them free, no sign-up needed.

## Frequently 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.

## Passed your theory? Get the practical booked

Your theory certificate lasts two years. Most learners who use it quickly do it with an intensive course — a block of hours with a DVSA approved instructor and a practical test at the end, instead of one lesson a week for months.
