What is the correct direction for the 3rd exit in a roundabout?

In a roundabout, when you approach and take the third exit, the correct action is to make a left turn. This is because roundabouts operate in a counterclockwise direction, meaning you need to navigate to the left of the central island.

As you enter the roundabout, turning left allows you to position yourself appropriately in the lanes. The third exit indicates you've made two previous exits, which signifies you have gone three-quarters of the way around the roundabout. The left turn allows you to exit onto the desired road after navigating around the central island.

Additionally, moving straight through is valid for exits that are directly in front of you, typically counted as the second exit or for some designs, the first depending on your initial approach. Right turns pertain to the first exit, and a U-turn is only made if you are effectively reversing direction, which does not apply when simply executing the third exit in a continuous flow of traffic around the roundabout.
