Roundabout Rules Video: How to Drive in a Roundabout Safely

Steps to Navigate a Roundabout with Ease

1. Choose the Correct Lane

   Before you reach the roundabout, check signs and lane markings. Pick the lane that matches the direction in which you need to go.

2. Slow Down as You Approach

   Roundabouts are designed for lower speeds. Reduce your speed and prepare to yield.

3. Yield to Pedestrians

   Stop for anyone walking in the crosswalks at the roundabout entrance or exit.

4. Yield to Traffic in the Roundabout

   Look to your left. Vehicles already inside the roundabout have the right of way. Wait for a safe gap.

5. Enter When Clear

   Once the path is clear, enter smoothly — no stopping inside the roundabout.

6. Continue to Your Exit

   Stay in your lane and keep moving. Signal right as you approach your exit.

7. Exit Carefully

   Watch for pedestrians and cyclists as you leave the roundabout.
