Chile
1. Roundabout
A roundabout is a circular road arrangement in which traffic travels around a central island in one designated direction. Vehicles enter and leave through connecting roads, and traffic signs or local rules determine who has priority.
Drivers should reduce speed, choose a suitable lane, observe all road users and signal as required when leaving. The direction of travel, entry priority, lane use and rules for cyclists and pedestrians depend on local traffic signs and regulations.
Who has priority at a roundabout in Chile?
Chile’s CONASET handbook explains giving priority to vehicles already travelling around a roundabout. Read the entry controls and take care with traffic approaching from the left.
How should you choose a roundabout lane in Chile?
Choose your intended exit before entering and follow the lane arrows and destination signs. Keep to the marked route and make any permitted lane change only when safe; having priority over entering traffic does not give you priority to change lanes.

What should you check when leaving a roundabout in Chile?
Signal right once you have passed the exit immediately before the one you intend to use, as CONASET’s handbook explains. Check before moving across a lane, and give way to pedestrians and cycle-track users as required when turning. Do not force an exit across another vehicle’s path.
