At a two-lane roundabout, which lane can you use to go straight through?
The rule
In a roundabout with more than one lane, to go straight you may enter in either lane, and you leave in the same lane you entered.
To go straight at a multilane roundabout, enter in either lane. Then exit in the same lane you entered.
From the California Driver Handbook, section 7, page 40. This question is our own wording of that rule. The handbook and the DMV have the final word.
