Roundabouts move traffic smoothly by giving right-of-way to vehicles already inside. Approach and yield to those circulating, entering only when there is a safe gap. Once inside, travel counterclockwise around the central island and stay in your lane; changing lanes while circulating can cause conflicts with other vehicles. As you near your intended exit, signal to show you’re leaving, then exit to the right. Do not stop at the entrance waiting for a large gap, and do not travel clockwise or switch lanes inside the circle. Signaling on exit helps others anticipate your move and keep traffic flowing safely. Be mindful of pedestrians and cyclists who may be crossing at entrances or within the roundabout.
