Correct answer
- AEn el carril derecho.In the right-hand lane.
When a driver is about to leave a roundabout, they must first move into the right-hand lane, unless specific signs say otherwise. This keeps traffic orderly and safe and avoids cutting across vehicles that are staying on the roundabout. If road markings or signs allow you to leave from another lane, you may do so without breaking the rules. For example, some roundabouts have specific lanes that lead straight to an exit. In these cases you must follow the path shown by the signs.
