A collection of helpful advice and practices to help different vehicles navigate the district's roundabouts
Roundabout Driving Tips
4 Simple Steps to Drive a Roundabout:
Step 1: YIELD – to vehicles, bikes and pedestrians already in the intersection (look left)
Step 2: RIGHT – IN to enter the roundabout
Step 3: RIGHT – OUT to exit the roundabout (look for signage to find your exit and don’t forget your turn signal)
Step 4: ROUNDABOUT (if you miss your turn, don’t panic – take a lap and try again!)
| DO |
DON’T |
| DO yield to vehicles and bicyclists already in the intersection as well as pedestrians at crosswalks |
DON’T come to a complete stop as you approach if the roundabout is clear |
| DO use your right turn signal when entering and exiting the roundabout |
DON’T use your left turn signal, there are only right turns in a roundabout! |
| DO slow your speed and stay in the driving lane |
DON’T drive on the truck apron or attempt to pass vehicles in the intersection |
| DO yield to emergency vehicles in or entering the roundabout |
DON’T stop in the roundabout, instead, exit the roundabout and then pull over when safe |
| DO give large trucks extra space in the roundabout |
DON’T be alarmed if trucks and large vehicles mount the central truck apron – that’s the purpose of the truck apron |
| DO “take a lap” around the intersection if you miss your intended exit |
DON’T stop or reverse direction in the roundabout |
