The road traffic legislation does not oblige to reduce the speed when you move in an intersection with a roundabout, on the grounds that the danger of blockage is created.
The voluntary stopping of the vehicles is prohibited in intersections, including in those with traffic in a roundabout. Therefore, you are prohibited to stop the vehicle in an intersection with traffic in a roundabout, except for the situations imposed by traffic. For example the situation in which you have the obligation to give priority to an official convoy of motor vehicles.
U-turn is prohibited in the cases in which the voluntary stopping is prohibited, but with the exception of the intersections, including with the exception of the intersections with a roundabout. Therefore, the U-turn is allowed by bypassing the island. But we must know that U-turn is prohibited in the intersections in which forward and reverse maneuvers are needed to turn the vehicle.
