Zu viele Fahrer haben keinen Hinweis auf Kreisverkehrsspuren. Die linke Spur ist für links abbiegt, die rechte Spur für die rechte Kurve und gerade. Hören Sie auf, auf der linken Spur zu campen, um geradeaus zu gehen und über den Verkehr zu schneiden! Es ist nicht so kompliziert!

Hä?
Very true. And a common issue in many countries!
Hi. This is a one-lane roundabout. Goodbye.
That and people cutting you off are probably my two biggest problems I have here
Correct, but there aren’t that many two lane roundabouts around. Also your demonstration features a one lane version.
First of all, this is one lane roundabout.
But let’s assume there would be 2 lanes. In this case, you have like this:
– from the first lane you could go right or straight (you need to choose the first lane as well when you exit the roundabout)
– from the second lane you could go straight and left (you need to choose the second lane when exit)
In other countries this is very clear, but in Switzerland there are not so many places like this and because of that the people are not used with them.
LE:
don’t forget that the right lane has priority. So even if you did all the things correctly, there might be someone who is doing the full roundabout turn on the right lane because they have no clue about how to do it.
So, when you exit the roundabout from a middle lane, always check to not have any car on your right side.
this is one lane roundabout as said before. but what swiss drivers suck in is making turns from the most right or left position.
From the TCS website: „In general, I enter the right lane if I choose to turn right or continue straight (vehicle B) and the left lane if I wish to turn left (vehicle A).
However, it is possible to remain in the right lane until the exit (in this case, I enter the right lane at the roundabout entrance).“

Except in the case of specific indications, you can stay on the right even if you go around the entire roundabout.
I feel like you live near me because we have a roundabout almost identical layout to this and the amount of times the person in the left nearly crashes into me because they’re trying to steam roll straight and I’m going straight too.
Two lane roundabouts are pretty rare in switzerland so no idea how this is worth making a post.
The two lane roundabout near me that i sometimes drive by also works perfectly fine. Never seen anyone do it wrong
Its perfectly legal to use the left lane to exit straight. Its also shown in signs at a roundabout near me.
Unless you Drive in the Canton of Freiburg, Since their planers didn’t give a F**** . Sometimes even the same roundabout depending from Which direction you come the Go Straight line gets switched around. So in Fribourg you always have to check the Ground markings to see if the Straight is left or Right.
The actual rule is; use the right lane for the first two exits, use the left lane for the remaining ones.
My pet peeve is people not using signal lights. On single lane roundabouts, people often don’t signal when they are exiting nor when they plan to go left.
It’s a pain in the ass mostly because swiss only use the turning signal to exit, not to show where they are going when they enter the roundabout.
You can go and exercise in France, there are about 50 000 of those.
That’s why I just drift through any roundabout
I just want to add that cyclists have the right to cycle on the middle of the road when on a roundabout. So if this is a one-lane roundabout, the cyclist can cycle in the middle of the road. The cars cannot overtake them on the roundabout.

Please read the signs and don’t blindly follow the instructions of OP
What’s the point of multi lane roundabouts anyways? I pass one every day and it feels like one in five cars doesn’t know what to do and just YOLOs it, risking collisions. Traffic flow doesn’t seem to be improved in any way either.
Switzerland is the only country where i saw someone stop in the middle of the fucking roundabout to let pass someone else. Twice.
If it is an actual two lane roundabout: You can also use the left lane to go straight – well, if you do an 540 degree turn(enter, but instead of going straight directly you just do an „extra full round“), that is 🤓
Unless CLEARLY signaled otherwise, ALL roundabouts in Switzerland must be driven as if they were 2-lane roundabouts. Stick to the right when taking the first or second exit (in a 4 exit roundabout), otherwise left until the exit before the one you are taking.
If everyone followed this rule and indicating correctly (indicating right just as you pass the previous exit), there would not be discussions about which country‘s rules of indication are better.
BTW, I am sure that Switzerland adopted the current ruleset to avoid confusion and accidents, especially from those that are NOT accustomed in traffic rules, such as children. Indicating left when waiting to enter the roundabout is dangerous because those people will think that the car will turn LEFT into the roundabout. Of course it won’t, but children may not know it.
The general rule of thumb is to indicate to show the direction you plan to go, but only if it adds to clarity and reduces confusion.
This is an incomplete description ; some roundabouts are like your picture, except the road on the left is just an exit (e.g., highway), so the second lane is used to go straight.
