The Ringwood Road double mini roundabout can look confusing to even experienced drivers. By following these general tips, watching this video and studying it using Google maps, it will eventually make sense and you'll be able to negotiate it safely and confidently.

Tips:

On approach look out for destination signs and also signs telling what lanes to use.

As you get closer, look out for arrows on the road. If you reduce your speed on approach, this will give you more time to spot these markings.

By keeping a good distance from any cars in front, either when you are moving or stationary, will also give you the best chance to spot any road markings.

If the gap to join isn't obvious, keep a look out for "blockers", these are vehicles approaching from the left that will block traffic from the right when they exit, giving us a chance to join.

Always do what is safe, if you have chosen the wrong lane, follow that route off of the roundabout, you can always turn around and come back.

Take some time to study the video below.

Focus on one approach road, then focus on one car and see how it navigates the roundabout.

What lane does it use to get to it's chosen exit?

Do the same with all the approach roads until you gain an understanding on how the roundabout works.

Left look at the route as and example. We want to take exit 1 to the left at the first roundabout and then exit 1 straight ahead at the second roundabout.

We can see by the satellite image that the road markings show arrows on approach. The right lane is a right turn only as we want to turn left, this make this an obvious choice.

As we reach the giveway line, we are mainly looking to our right for oncoming traffic (green circle), but we also need look at the traffic on the left (yellow circle), if any of this traffic to the left make a right turn, they will block the traffic to our right, creating a gap for us to join.

Now we have found a gap and progressed to the second roundabout, we have used the arrows painted on the road and chosen the left lane to go straight ahead. Again, we are looking mainly to our right, but traffic approaching from the left may block this traffic, creating a gap.
