In a roundabout, drivers must yield to traffic already in the circle.

• A. Yield to traffic in the circle
• B. Stop at the entrance
• C. Yield to pedestrians only
• D. Accelerate into the circle

Answer: (A)

The main rule is that traffic already in the roundabout has the right of way. Approaching the roundabout, you slow down, look for a safe gap, and yield to vehicles that are circulating before entering. Once you’re inside, continue around to your exit, and stay in your lane while watching for pedestrians at crosswalks. Stopping at the entrance when there’s a gap slows everyone down, accelerating into the circle creates conflicts, and yielding only to pedestrians ignores the cars already in the circle. So the correct approach is to yield to traffic in the circle.
