Is overtaking permitted at roundabouts?

Correct answer

No, they are intersections.

Unlike at other intersections and near them, where overtaking is generally prohibited, overtaking is permitted at roundabouts. This is because roundabouts are designed to maintain a continuous flow of traffic and their circular shape facilitates vehicle movement, including the possibility of overtaking in certain circumstances. However, remember that overtaking at a roundabout must be carried out carefully and in accordance with traffic regulations. You must also give way to vehicles already circulating within the roundabout and adjust your speed to ensure safe traffic flow.
