How should you handle a roundabout?

Yielding to traffic that is already in the roundabout is essential for maintaining safety and order within this type of intersection. Roundabouts are designed to improve traffic flow and reduce the likelihood of collisions by allowing vehicles to move continuously in a circular pattern. By giving priority to those already circulating within the roundabout, you minimize the risk of accidents caused by entering vehicles disrupting the flow of traffic.

When approaching a roundabout, looking for signs or road markings provides guidance on right-of-way rules. Once it is safe and clear to enter, you can proceed into the roundabout, which helps keep the movement smooth and efficient. This practice enhances overall safety for both drivers and pedestrians present in the vicinity of the roundabout.
