How to Drive Around Modern Roundabouts
As you enter a roundabout, remember two key points:
Never merge. The right of way is observed at the yield sign. Motorists already in the roundabout have the right of way. You must slow down or stop to yield to traffic approaching from the left. Wait for a gap in traffic, then carefully proceed into the roundabout.
Slow down to 15-25 mph when entering.
Let vehicles already circulating go ahead.
Obey all one-way signs.
Watch for pedestrians, bicyclists, emergency vehicles and large vehicles.
For multiple-lane usage, follow these guidelines depending on traffic patterns:
For right-hand turns, travel in the right-hand lane and use your turn signal.
For left-hand turns, travel in the left-hand lane and use your turn signal.
For continuing forward, remain in the same lane you entered.
For missed exits, circle around the roundabout again.
