🚴The entire island is a cyclist-friendly zone. Always keep an eye out for bicycles and maintain safe distance — especially on narrow rural roads.
🛴 Electric scooters are common in towns like Playa Blanca. Be careful when overtaking and give them space, especially in busy areas or near pedestrian crossings.
⚙️ Entering the roundabout
– Always give way to vehicles already inside the roundabout.
– Slow down and check to your left before entering.
– There’s no alternate entry rule, the car inside always has priority.
🚗 Lanes
– Right lane – for the first or second exit.
– Left lane – if you’re taking the third exit or making a full circle.
– Always move to the right lane before exiting, using your indicator.
🪶 Indicators
– Entering: no signal.
– Exiting: always use the right indicator before leaving.
– If you switch from the inner to the outer lane, signal right early.
🚴 Cyclists and pedestrians
– Cyclists often share the roundabout — they have priority if already inside.
– Pedestrian crossings are just after the exits, so always stop before the crosswalk when leaving.
