How to Drive a Roundabout

LegendOne-lane:

As you approach the entry to the roundabout, there will be a "Yield" sign and dashed yield line at the roundabout intersection. Slow down, watch for pedestrians and bicyclists and be prepared to stop if necessary. When you enter, yield to circulating traffic from the left, but do not stop if it is clear.

The roundabout will have "One Way" and Chevron signs mounted in the center island. Upon passing the street prior to your exit, turn on your right turn signal and watch for pedestrians and bicyclists as you exit. Left turns are completed by traveling around the center island.

Two-lane:
