Frequently Asked Questions
The best way to think about driving through a roundabout is to compare it with driving through a conventional intersection. As you approach the roundabout, look for signs and pavement markings to help determine which lane you should be in based on your intended destination. If you want to turn left or go straight, stay to the left. If you want to turn right, stay to the right. Look for signs and pavement markings to guide you. Multi-lane roundabouts have arrows showing the direction you can travel depending on what lane you are in. And always remember to yield to traffic already in the roundabout. It’s that easy!
