Turning left at a Mini Circle
Turning left at a mini circle requires good observation, proper signalling, speed control, and correct vehicle positioning.
Drivers must approach cautiously, give way where necessary, and navigate around the mini circle safely while maintaining full control of the vehicle.
A mini circle is designed to improve traffic flow and reduce collisions at intersections.
Even though traffic may move continuously, drivers must still be prepared to stop if required.
