Advice required on roundabout lane selection

[Professor Barney]

Hi folks, I use this roundabout every day on the way home after work:



The road leading to it is 2-lane, the roundabout itself is 2-lanes all the way round and the exit is single-lane. There are no carriageway markings and the road signs only show the layout not the lanes to be used.

I've always used the left-hand lane, but others use the right-hand lane and then cut across to the exit, just wondering if there's a 'correct' lane for this?

[Professor Barney]

Thanks for the replies everyone. I decided to give the right-hand lane a go last night and had to give way to a white van that had taken the left-hand lane then went faster than me around the roundabout blocking the exit.

I think the number of users taking each route is about 50:50 so I'll keep trying the right-hand lane for a while unless there are a significant number of difficulties like yesterday.
