When you are on a priority road (forkjørsvei). The right-hand rule does not apply when you are on a priority road, when signs or traffic lights regulate the intersection, or when emerging from a private road.

Q: What does the "vikeplikt" (duty to yield) sign mean?

You must give way to all traffic on the intersecting road. The vikeplikt (yield) sign, an inverted triangle, means you must give way to all traffic on the road you are entering.

Traffic already in the roundabout. Traffic already circulating inside the roundabout has priority. You must yield before entering.
