My biggest hurdle was negotiating those that are either exiting the roundabout to my left or continuing through. Looks the same until they turn. When in doubt yield, don't guess because they just go shooting right through. When I'm spinning through I always watch others to see if they slow down before coming in. Just a habit of driving I picked up, watch the other car for anything that could happen. Back in Vegas one day I was behind a driver who signaled and he actually was halfway into his right turn going into another street and changed his mind and curved back out in front of me. If I would've sped up as he turned he would've hit me. I still had to brake though for that fool.

I would appreciate it if someone plans to exit from a roundabout to use a tight turn signal if coming south so someone waiting to enter knows you are exiting. For example, if you are driving south on Buena Vista and plan to exit on Bailey Trail near Lake Miona, please signal so I know I can enter the roundabout.

You must wait until I have made my turn. You must not enter the roundabout while I am driving in the roundabout. |
Exactly

Just takes basic courtesy.

One quick note. People look down at the ground as you drive. There are arrows in each lane directing which lane you need to be in.

Before you enter a roundabout, there is a sign that shows how you are allowed to drive. For example, if you are in the right lane, you cannot go 3/4 around the roundabout. If you are in the left lane, you cannot take the first right turn. Most of us know these rules and follow them. Of course, we cannot expect everyone to follow these rules. That is why I drive thru a roundabout slowly with my hand on the horn |
It should be noted that when in a roundabout, if you are crossing a line, solid or broken, you must yield to any vehicle following the lane they are in. In many occaisions people entering a roundabout in the right lane and continue past the 1st exit, crossing the broken line, fail to yield to the person in the inside lane following that lane into the exit that the person in the outside lane is bypassing. If the bikes were crossing that broken line, they failed to yield.
