How should you safely navigate a roundabout?

• A. Enter before it is clear.
• B. Stop at the entrance and wait for a green arrow.
• C. Yield to traffic inside, enter when clear, stay to the right, and signal when exiting.
• D. Accelerate through to avoid congestion.

Answer: (C)

Roundabouts work by giving priority to traffic already circulating. You should approach slowly, look for a safe gap, and yield to vehicles in the circle before entering. Enter only when there’s enough room to merge without stopping in the roundabout. Once you’re inside, stay in your lane and keep to the right, moving around the circle toward your exit. Signal your intent to exit so others know you’re leaving, then steer onto the exit road and adjust speed as needed. Also be alert for pedestrians and cyclists near the entrances and exits.
