any Dutch people about or someone who knows about driving in Holland

[happy_face]

I've read that in Holland there are 2 types of roundabouts, one where you give way to people on the roundabout (like in UK) and one where people on the roundabout give way to people joining.

I'm due to drive in Holland this summer and just want to know if the latter of the two roundabouts are quite common and how do you know which type you are approaching?

thanks

there is or was a roundabout the other side of manchester where the people on the roundabout give way to the people coming on to it.
it was a few years back around the salford area when i came up to it i slowed down and the cars on the roundabout stopped .i must admit it is the only one i have ever seen

I couldn't find anything on the net specifically about roundabouts in the Netherlands, but this may be of use to you

I have travelled a lot in Holland and have not come across such a roundabout but there are ones where you have to give way to cyclists crossing the roundabouts as they cross the entance/exits roads at the points where the cycle paths cross over the roads.

it says here about the different roundabouts:

They mention red inverted triangle signs. That should be easy to remember when you think of what that stands for in history:
