A traffic circle (round about; dawoall - Arabic) is a left-curving street with several side streets going off to the right.
Can be a right-curving street with several side streets going off to the left, if you're a right hand driver :-P
The right lane of a traffic circle is, then, a right-turn lane used by entering and exiting traffic.
In fact, the right lane of a traffic circle is the free one.
Try to enter the round about in the right lane if you're going to turn right at the first exit.
Perfect situation: if you have as a passenger:
- Minimum one lady (wife, office matte,rented one, etc.)
- one children ( or “Baby on board” sticker)
But if you're going past the first exit, change lanes to the inside as you enter the circle.
Ride around at the outer edge of the inside lane.
It sometimes helps to make a left-turn signal while in the inside lane; drivers then feel comfortable about passing you on the right as they exit the circle.
It also helps to make a left-turn after twice right-turn and again a left-turn signal while in the inside lane.
Other drivers will be confused for few seconds, enough time for you to move in!
Change back to the outside lane as you approach your exit.
Use your normal, army, cricket or football tactics and hand signals for lane-changing.
Because of the traffic circle's left curve, cars go straight to turn right.
For this reason, it's especially dangerous to cross an exit of a traffic circle in the right lane.
The drivers who always keep to the right will tell you that traffic circles are very dangerous.
On the other hand, you'll find it surprisingly easy to drive around in the inside lane.

No one lady is ugly, the drink it's not enough!"
