Road Rule In Europe
16 Answers
I hire cars often when in Spain, Portugal. I seem to remember that you should give way to a car coming ON to a roundabout. Ive never experienced anyone stopping for me, except once or twice on a trip to a small Greek island.

LOL
A few years ago, we got our very first traffic lights on the island. The reason given was increased traffic from tourism. One old guy got pulled for jumping a red light, and insisted to the cops that he didn't have to stop as he wasn't a tourist.

Maybe they don't feel inclined to let out someone who appears not to be making an effort to enter ?
Re red lights. On my one trip to the US I was stopped at a red light and it never seemed to change. Saw someone in the distance coming up behind me, so confused I oped to pull to the side and pretend I was reading a map. They went straight through !!! So I did also (when it Rome and all that). I asked at reception once I got back to the hotel, and can't recall the exact details but it was something about being allowed to proceed (perhaps a right turn ?) if nothing was coming. I did wonder how many Americans got into trouble here for ignoring red lights.

Yes Greece still has 'priority a droite' or whatever the Greek equivilent is
You drive straight onto a roundabout and if you're on a roundabout you have to stop and give way
Totally barking if you ask me - I think the French have up that malarky years ago - and it just feels *so* wrong - but I got used to it after a week
