What should you do if you approach a roundabout?

When approaching a roundabout, yielding to traffic already in the roundabout is essential for maintaining safety and smooth traffic flow. Roundabouts are designed to improve traffic efficiency and reduce the likelihood of accidents by allowing vehicles to move continuously. Vehicles inside the roundabout have the right of way, meaning you must allow them to pass before entering.

This practice helps prevent potential collisions and keeps the flow of vehicles moving efficiently. It is important to slow down as you approach the roundabout so you can gauge the speed and distance of vehicles already circulating. Properly yielding at this point enhances overall roadway safety for all drivers and maintains the intended function of the roundabout.
