When you approach a roundabout:
- Slow down as you approach the intersection.
- Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the roadway.
- Watch for signs and pavement markings that guide you or
prohibit certain movements.
- Enter the roundabout when there is a big enough gap in
traffic.
- Drive in a counterclockwise direction. Do not stop or pass
other vehicles.
- Use your turn signals when you exit the
roundabout.
-
 If
you miss your exit, continue around until you return to your exit.
Multiple/single lane roundabouts:
- Get in the correct lane early. Observe pavement markings and
signs (For example: Use the right lane to turn at the first right or go straight.
Use the left lane to go straight, make a left turn, or make a U-turn).
- Give large trucks (with long trailers) room to take up both
lanes as they approach, circulate and exit the roundabout.
- Yield to ALL traffic already in the roundabout, even if you're
only entering the right lane (or outside lane) of the roundabout.
- Never pass or change lanes in the roundabout.
- When exiting from the inside lane, check the lane next to you
and your
blind spot to make sure the outside lane is clear. Use your turn signal
to let other drivers know that you are exiting.
