Roundabouts and busy junctions in Kerala: a calm approach
Priority, lane choice and how to avoid freezing at the stop line.
Kerala junctions mix buses, autos and two-wheelers in tight spaces. Arrive slow, read the gap, and commit once you go — hesitation mid-junction causes conflict.
At roundabouts, yield to traffic already circulating unless signs say otherwise. Signal your exit early enough for the vehicle behind.
Right turns across traffic need extra patience. It is better to wait than to force a gap that closes on a bike in your blind spot.
City-focused coaching drills these patterns until your hands stay quiet. That is the goal — not memorising one favourite junction near home.
