Roundabout Driving Tips
- When entering the roundabout, yield to traffic already navigating it.
- When a safe gap is available, merge into roundabout traffic.
- As you travel the roundabout, pay attention to signage and merging vehicles.
In the roundabout, you are allowed the right-of-way, but pay attention to inexperienced roundabout travelers. - When you reach your desired exit point, signal to alert fellow motorists that you are exiting the roundabout and safely move out of it.
Reminders
- Exits should always be smooth; if you're making a sharp turn (greater than 90 degrees) when exiting, check your traffic directions!
- Pay attention to pedestrians navigating the roundabout, and make note of painted crosswalks and signage.
- Please be patient and respectful of other drivers. While roundabouts are designed to improve traffic and pedestrian safety, many motorists are unfamiliar with their unique requirements.
