I have to wait until the lane is clear to enter the circle, so who am I signaling and what signal am I supposed to throw before I enter? I'm not turning, I'm basically proceeding forward (no signal for that). Upon being in the circle, it's a one-way circle and I'm going to exit to the right. I'm generally on the right side of the lane anyway, so there's approximately a 0% chance that my path is going to cross the track of the car behind me when I exit. If I'm going to bypass the first exit, I'm in the lane of the circle to make this obvious and, as I'm sure you're aware, there is no signal for "not turning".. What relevant info am I leaving anyone to guess?



If you're talking about multi-lane traffic circles, I might have to signal a shift in and out of the innermost (left) lane, but that's relatively rare where I ride.
