Conjoined / Double mini Roundabouts

SLOW SLOW SLOW is the best way to deal with these.
Restricted space, Restricted visibility can make these awkward to deal with,
therefore slow speed is paramount to a successful journey around them.

REDUCED SPEED IS PARAMOUNT WHEN DEALING WITH DOUBLE MINI ROUNDABOUTS

The best and only advice with these is to ensure you treat them as individual Roundabouts.
That is to say, plan your approach and exit point for the first Roundabout, this will put you in a good position by the time you come to exit in the approach stage for the second Roundabout.
It would not matter how many Roundabouts were joined together as long as you treat each one as an individual roundabout the same system works for each one.
Not very often you may come across a roundabout that looks like this one, and to be honest it runs very smoothly when dealt with in the correct manner.


As with any roundabout priority is always given to traffic travelling from your immediate right. Obviously where there is limited space on mini roundabouts your need to be very aware of traffic coming from directly ahead of you as well, as they will be on top of you instantly when they join the roundabout due to the size of the roundabout.

As you can see from this image.

Space is reduced and visibility from some directions would be reduced vastly.
Take your time, stay slow to allow for good observations and control of the steering.
