Understanding roundabout exits
Posted: Sat Dec 29, 2012 10:21 pm
Hi
I have difficulty in understanding roundabout exits some times.
I know the exits are marked by thick or thin lines to indicate major and minor roads.
However, in this picture taken from "Know your traffic signs" (page 78) and also on some roads, what do the exits with arrow and the exits with a rectangle(no arrow) mean?
Do the arrow ones only mean exits and the rectangled ones (2 of them) not exits at all (i.e NO Entry roads from which traffic can only join the roundabout but I cant leave the roundabout at that exit?
Why are the names of the places not printed against the rectangle ones?
The arrowed one on the right leads to M43, but not the Rectangle one.
Thanks in advance for answering, also please point me to places in highway code/know your traffic signs to understand such signs.
