200 yards to a roundabout or the next point at which traffic may leave a route
Countdown sign telling you a roundabout or major exit is exactly 200 yards ahead. This is the final warning before you need to be in the correct lane and at the right speed. On motorways and high-speed routes this sign is critical because lane changes at the last moment can cause sudden braking and increase the risk of rear-end collisions. Always start preparing as soon as you see the 300-yard or 200-yard countdowns that usually precede it.
