Using a roundabout properly is essential for safe and efficient driving. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
1. Approach with Caution:
• Slow down as you approach the roundabout.
• Look for yield signs and be prepared to give way to traffic already inside the roundabout.
• Check for pedestrians and cyclists crossing near the entrance.
2. Choose the Correct Lane:
• If you’re turning right (first exit), stay in the right lane.
• If you’re going straight (second exit), use the appropriate lane based on lane markings.
• If you’re turning left (third exit or more), use the left lane.
• Follow road signs and markings indicating lane usage.
3. Yield to Traffic in the Roundabout:
• Vehicles inside the roundabout have the right of way.
• Wait for a gap in traffic before entering.
4. Enter the Roundabout:
• Merge into traffic at a safe speed, staying in your lane.
5. Signal Your Exit:
• As you approach your exit, signal to the right.
• Stay in your lane and exit smoothly.
6. Maintain Your Lane:
• While inside the roundabout, avoid changing lanes. Follow the curve and keep your speed steady.
7. Exit Safely:
• Use your turn signal and watch for pedestrians or cyclists when exiting.
Key Points:
• Yield to vehicles already in the roundabout.
