Dubai Theory Test - Part5-9: Roundabouts

The “Roundabouts” section of the Dubai driving theory test assesses your understanding of safe navigation through roundabouts.

1 / 25

In which direction must all vehicles travel in a roundabout?

Clockwise

Anti-clockwise

Either direction is acceptable

The direction indicated by the first car

2 / 25

When turning right on a roundabout, how long should you keep your signal on?

Only when inside the roundabout

3 / 25

What is described as very important for not confusing other drivers in a roundabout?

Using your horn frequently

Driving as fast as possible

Avoiding eye contact with other drivers

4 / 25

When going straight ahead in a two-lane roundabout, when should you signal your intention to exit?

Just as you are about to exit

Signaling is not required for going straight

After you have passed the first exit

5 / 25

When turning left in a two or three-lane roundabout, when should you signal to exit?

As soon as you enter the roundabout

After passing the first exit

You do not need to signal when turning left

6 / 25

Before entering a roundabout, to whom must you give way?

All vehicles approaching from the right

The largest vehicle

All vehicles already in the roundabout moving towards you from the left

Only the centre lane

Only the left lane

The right lane or the centre lane

The left lane or the centre lane

8 / 25

Why is signaling to exit particularly important on a three-lane roundabout?

Because traffic is moving faster

Because the roundabouts are larger

Because you may be crossing two lanes of traffic as you leave

Because it is a legal requirement only on three-lane roundabouts

9 / 25

What helps a driver know which lane to be in to reach their destination via a roundabout?

Directional signs along the route

The number of cars in each lane

Asking a passenger

Following the car in front

When can you enter a roundabout?

When there is a gap in traffic, but only if it is safe

When the vehicle on your right lets you in

As soon as you arrive at the entrance

Immediately after the car in front of you goes

13 / 25

What should you always do relative to the central island of a roundabout?

Keep to the right of it

Drive over it if it's small

Stop next to it to check traffic

It does not matter when

Early

Only after stopping at the entrance

At the last possible moment

15 / 25

How does the procedure for turning right in a three-lane roundabout compare to a two-lane one?

It is completely different

It is the same

You must signal earlier

You must use the centre lane instead

16 / 25

What crucial decision must be made before entering any roundabout?

The speed of the cars already in the roundabout

Which radio station to listen to

How many exits the roundabout has

Whether you will turn right, left, or go straight

17 / 25

The text states that roundabouts can be complex and you must know what?

Where you are going

How many cars are in it

The name of the intersection

The speed limit

18 / 25

If you plan to turn right soon after going straight through a two-lane roundabout, which lane should you choose to enter and leave?

The lane with the straight-ahead arrow

The left-hand lane

The right-hand lane

Either lane is fine

19 / 25

When turning right on a two-lane roundabout, which lane should you approach and stay in?

The right lane

The lane with the least traffic

The left lane

Either lane is acceptable

20 / 25

What is the consequence of not staying in the correct painted lane within a roundabout?

It is the recommended procedure

You risk confusing other drivers

You will receive a fine automatically

You will save time

21 / 25

When turning left in a two-lane roundabout, which lane must you always approach in?

Any lane is fine if you signal early

The right lane

The centre lane

The left lane or as shown by arrows

22 / 25

When turning left in any roundabout, the text says you should keep in the same lane as you travel around and...

Stop before exiting to check for traffic

Follow the corresponding lane as you leave

Speed up to merge with traffic

Move to the right lane to exit

23 / 25

What is particularly important to check for as you are about to exit any roundabout?

Vehicles on your left

The roundabout exit sign

Pedestrians on the central island

Vehicles on your right

24 / 25

What does the text emphasize as a key component of navigating roundabouts, especially larger ones?

Good planning

Using the horn to signal intent

Aggressive driving

Avoiding them if possible

25 / 25

If you are going straight through a three-lane roundabout and need to be on the right side of the road after exiting, which lane should you choose?

Any lane is acceptable

The left lane

The right lane

The centre lane

Your score is

Drivers must know how to select the correct lane before entering, yield to vehicles already inside, and give way to pedestrians at crossings. Signaling intentions—whether exiting or changing lanes within the roundabout—is crucial for safety and communication with other drivers. The test covers rules for multi-lane roundabouts, priority signs, and speed control. Mastery of these concepts helps prevent accidents and ensures smooth traffic flow. Successfully answering roundabout questions is essential for passing the theory test and becoming a responsible driver in Dubai.
