Roundabout Turn And Lane Change Signal

Plain-English Summary

AI-generated

Senate Bill 17-059, which has been signed into law, changes Colorado's traffic rules by allowing drivers in roundabouts to turn or change lanes without using turn signals. This applies only within roundabouts unless there are specific signs indicating otherwise. The bill affects all drivers who use roundabouts and simplifies the process of navigating these circular intersections. Since it is now signed, the new rule is in effect and drivers should be aware that signaling isn't required when moving through roundabouts.

Official Summary

Currently, a person must signal an intention to turn before turning or changing lanes while driving a vehicle. The bill exempts motor vehicles that are using a roundabout unless otherwise posted. (Note: This summary applies to this bill as introduced.)
