In this intersection the traffic takes place in a roundabout. It is recommended to the drivers of vehicles who wish to travel through a roundabout to enter on the traffic lanes inside it, depending on the desired direction of travel, as follows:

• those who wish to travel on the first road to the right will enter on the lane next to the curb of the sidewalk or shoulder;
• those who wish to travel straight ahead will enter on either of the lanes, but if the roundabout has more than 2 lanes, they will avoid travelling on the lane closest to the centre of the intersection;
• and those who wish to travel to the left or to make a U-turn will enter on the lane closest to the centre of the intersection.

Therefore, to make a U-turn of the motor vehicle in this roundabout, among the three indicated routes, route number 2 is the optimal one.

The correct answer is: B

(1) At the intersections provided with signs and/or with markings for signalling the direction of travel, the drivers of vehicles must move into position on the lanes corresponding to the intended direction of travel at least 50 m before the intersection and are obliged to respect the meaning of the signs and markings.

(1^1) In the case of roundabouts, the drivers of vehicles must respect the rules regarding traffic on lanes, having the obligation to signal in time the exit of the intersection and to make sure that they can do it without disturbing the traffic or endangering the safety of the other participants in traffic.

(2) At the intersections without lane delimitation markings, the drivers of vehicles occupy in motion, at least 50 m before the intersection, the following positions:
a) the row next to the curb or shoulder, those who want to change the direction of travel to the right;
b) the row next to the axis of the road or next to the marking separating the directions, those who want to change the direction of travel to the left. When the traffic takes place on one-way roads, the drivers of vehicles who intend to turn left are obliged to occupy the row next to the curb or the shoulder on the left side;
c) either of the rows, those who want to go straight ahead.
