1. Slow down when you approach the roundabout
2. Watch for signs and choose the correct entry lane
3. Stop for pedestrians. Pedestrians in the crosswalk have the right of way!
4. Yield to all traffic already in the roundabout, including cyclists
5. Give large vehicles extra space
6. Signal in the direction you want to go as you’re approaching the roundabout.
7. When the coast is clear and there’s a gap in traffic, proceed into the roundabout
8. Never pass another vehicle in the roundabou

Emergency vehicles

If you have not entered the roundabout: pull over to the right, if you can do so safely. Let the emergency vehicle pass you before you enter.

If you have entered the roundabout: drive around to your intended exit. Leave the roundabout completely before you pull over to the right, then let the emergency vehicle pass. Do not stop inside of a roundabout.

Large vehicles

Large vehicles, especially trucks with trailers, often need extra space in roundabouts. Give large vehicles the space they need to manoeuvre safely.

Pedestrians

Use the sidewalk and crosswalks around the outside of the roundabout. Do not cut across the middle of the
roundabout.

Use the “splitter island” to cross one direction of traffic at a time

Cyclists

If you’re an experienced cyclist, you can move through the roundabout the same way you would in a vehicle:

• Merge into the centre of the vehicle lane before the bike lane or shoulder ends
• Don’t hug the curb. Stay in the middle of the lane to avoid collisions with other vehicles exiting to the right

New cyclists should get off their bicycles and cross the roundabout as pedestrians.
