I’m amazed how many stop before entering roundabouts when no traffic is visible or in the roundabout, but the will roll through stops signs. Roundabouts entries are yeild signs, which means you don’t stop, you slow down and yeild if traffic IN the roundabout. When you stop with no traffic in the round about you clog up traffic behind you and risk getting hit. Remember right laner’s dont have the right of way when entering roundabout left lane traffic coming to exit. So don’t pop out and cause the left lane car to stop. This clogs up roundabouts and can cause accidents.
