Getting around the roundabout

  1. Slow down when approaching the roundabout
  2. Keep to the right of the “splitter island”.
  3. Choose the correct entry lane. To turn right, get in the right lane. To turn left, get in the left lane. To go straight, get in either lane.
  4. Watch the crosswalk and stop for pedestrians
  5. Move to the yield line and wait for a gap in traffic before entering the roundabout. Yield to all traffic to your left, including cyclists.
  6. Do not enter beside someone already in the roundabout because they may be exiting. Drivers in the roundabout always have the right-of-way.
  7. Within the roundabout always travel counterclockwise and do not stop. You have the right-of-way over entering traffic.
  8. Do not pass other vehicles in the roundabout. Give large vehicles extra space because they may need both lanes.
  9. As you approach your exit, use your right turn signal and take the exit while maintaining a slow speed. Do not change lanes before exiting.
