As you approach a roundabout, ease off the gas. This isn’t the place for speed. Look for signs that tell you which lane to be in depending on your destination — left for left turns, right for right turns, and straight ahead if you’re going, well, straight.
Think of it like getting in the right line at a coffee shop. You’ll have a much better time if you choose correctly before it’s your turn
The golden rule: Yield to the cars already in the roundabout.
If someone’s coming around, let them pass before you enter. It’s like merging into traffic — you’re joining a moving circle, not cutting across it.
Patience here pays off. That little pause keeps everyone safe and keeps the flow smooth.
Once there’s a safe gap, glide in smoothly — don’t stop abruptly or gun it. Roundabouts work best when everyone keeps moving steadily. You don’t need to stop inside one unless traffic completely backs up (which is rare).
If the roundabout has multiple lanes, stay in yours. Don’t change lanes inside the circle unless signs or markings specifically say so.
Imagine the roundabout as a record player — everyone’s moving in rhythm. One wrong move, and you scratch the record.
Yep, you should signal when you leave. It helps drivers behind you (and waiting to enter) know what you’re doing. Turn on your right signal as you pass the exit just before yours.
