What does this sign mean?
A blue mandatory sign requiring the driver to circulate around the island in the direction shown by the arrows and to give priority to traffic already on the roundabout. It is fixed at the roundabout entry itself, not in advance of it.
Where does it go and when is it required?
Used at the entries of internal roundabouts in residential compounds, universities, hospitals, resorts and large mall car parks, and at temporary control roundabouts on construction sites. This version is intended for private and internal roads; signs on public roads must be installed by the municipality or the competent roads authority.
Regulation notes: Signage on public roads in Saudi Arabia and the UAE is the responsibility of the municipality or the competent roads authority, and must follow the GCC traffic sign manual for shape, colour and size. These files are intended for private property, car parks and temporary site use, and are not a substitute for official road signs.
- Mount it on a post at the roundabout entry with the bottom edge no lower than 2.0 m and no higher than 2.5 m above the road surface.
- Use A3 at internal roundabout entries; A4 is enough for small covered car park roundabouts.
- Reflective material matters because the sign is read on the move at night; matte prints disappear under headlights.
