5.15 -Roundabouts
Roundabouts are circular intersections with no traffic signal which improve traffic flow and reduce traffic
crashes. Roundabouts slow vehicle speed, give drivers more time to judge and react to other vehicles or
pedestrians. Drivers entering the roundabout must yield to traffic already in the circle and are directed in
one-way, counterclockwise direction. For multi-lane roundabouts, stay in the left lane to turn left and the right
lane to turn right, and all lanes to go through, unless otherwise directed by signs or pavement markings.
Stay in your lane within the roundabout and use your right turn signal to indicate your intention to exit.
Prior to entering or exiting the roundabout, drivers must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks. Bicyclists
may take the lane in the roundabout, or use the sidewalk.
