Hungary
13. 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 Hungary?
Hungary’s Körforgalom sign establishes circulation around the island. Give-way signs at entry assign priority to circulating traffic; do not infer priority from the circular shape alone. The national rules also protect trams crossing the roundabout.

How should you choose a roundabout lane in Hungary?
Follow the lane arrows and signs for your intended exit. Change lanes only when safe and give way to vehicles continuing without changing direction. Do not assume that priority over entering traffic also gives you priority to change lanes.

What should you check when leaving a roundabout in Hungary?
Signal in good time before leaving and keep signalling until the manoeuvre is complete. Check pedestrians, cyclists and vehicles alongside; give way where the turning or lane-change rules require. Entry to the roundabout is excluded from the ordinary turn-signalling requirement.
