To return along the road in the opposite direction, which option normally allows this while following traffic flow rather than making a direct turn across the road’s centre?

Correct answer

Use a suitable roundabout permitting that route.

Use a suitable roundabout if signs and layout permit that route and intended exit. Follow the correct circulation direction, observe applicable priority, change lanes safely and signal the exit. Do not leave by cutting across other lanes. A roundabout may be inside a built-up area and is a type of junction, so those categories are not mutually exclusive alternatives. Not every roundabout permits every route or overrides a specific prohibition.
