In this intersection with roundabout traffic:

• the yellow car, wishing to make a U-turn, has correctly moved onto traffic lane number two;
• the blue car, turning to the left, has correctly moved onto traffic lane number two;
• the red car, wishing to move straight ahead, has correctly moved onto traffic lane number 1;
• the purple car, wishing to turn onto the first street to the right, has correctly moved onto traffic lane number 1.

Therefore, all the cars move correctly in this intersection with roundabout traffic. But they must respect the rules regarding signalling the change of direction, giving priority when changing the traffic lane and giving priority when entering the roundabout.
