RoundaboutSweden
14. 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 Sweden?
At a Swedish cirkulationsplats, entering vehicles must yield to every vehicle already circulating. The official term describes the whole junction; rondell refers to its central island.
How should you choose a roundabout lane in Sweden?
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 Sweden?
Signal right in good time when leaving and check any lane you will cross or enter. Give way to pedestrians at an uncontrolled pedestrian crossing. At an uncontrolled cycle passage after the roundabout, use low speed and let cyclists and class II moped riders already on, or about to enter, the passage cross.
