Trying to find out what signage is compulsory at roundabouts? Google tends to just show info on how to negotiate one .
Have four roundabouts nearby all within a few hundred metres of each other with little or no signage.
 
Does roundabout need any signal?
I remember when they popped up everywhere instead of traffic lights and the idea was that they're easier to negotiate and slim down traffic.
Standard rules apply, in particular to give way for vehicles already on the roundabout.
What signal would you want?
 
Looking at Google Street View for Swindon's 6 in one roundabout there do not appear to be any advanced warning / informative signs as one approaches the roundabouts

Not signal , signage , mini roundabouts usually have a sign on approach and road markings .

Never realised.
Possibly because I pay attention to what I'm doing and what other drivers are doing.
All these distractions are immediately turned off by my brain.
Never had an accident that was my fault if you need to know.
 
A roudabout near me Lh lane goes to superstore and housing estate, streight on ( about 2 o clock ) then 3rd turning at aprox 4 o clock to housing estate, I get pizzed off by how many drivers go into Lh lane then want to go streight on or even right, they wonder why I am in the Rh lane to go streight on and give them a good blast on my horn, when I was learning to drive over 50 years ago my instructor always said if the exit you require is over 12o clock use the Rh lane if there is one
