How do you correctly navigate a roundabout?

• A. Enter in a hurry and proceed without signaling.
• B. Stop at all times when roundabout is near.
• C. Yield to traffic inside the roundabout, enter when clear, and signal when exiting.
• D. Ignore pedestrians in the roundabout.

Answer: (C)

Navigating a roundabout correctly hinges on yielding to traffic already circulating and to pedestrians, entering only when there’s a safe gap, and signaling when you exit. Slow as you approach, scan for people crossing at entrances and exits, and watch the vehicles inside the circle. When you see a clear gap, enter and travel counterclockwise, staying in your lane and maintaining a steady, predictable speed. Don’t stop inside the roundabout or weave between lanes. As you near the exit you intend to take, signal to show you’re leaving, then proceed to your exit and watch for pedestrians again. Other approaches—rushing in without yielding, stopping at the approach, or ignoring pedestrians—are unsafe and disrupt the flow of traffic.
