In the absence of a flair system on lemmy yet, let’s try to make it easier to scan through posts by type in here by using tags:
Think of it as just the same as exiting and entering like you would on the highway. When nobody's coming you're good to enter and when your exit comes up you leave. Not sure I would necessarily signal entering but signaling the exit helps other people know what you're about to do.
You should always signal to exit a roundabout after you pass the exit before the one you want to take. If you want to take the first exit, signal before you enter the roundabout. If you want to take the second exit, signal after you pass the first exit etc.
If you're taking an exit more than 180 degrees around the circle from the entrance, you should signal the other direction to show that you are staying on the roundabout and then signal to leave after you pass the exit before the one you want. E.g. if you're in a country where you drive on the right and the roundabout is on a traditional crossroad '+' and you want to take the third (left) or fourth (u turn) exit then you should indicate left to start with and then indicate right to exit.
Note that this is what you should do. You will see drivers not signalling correctly in any country with roundabouts. The most common error is probably not indicating at all when going straight.
