## How You Travel Through A Roundabout 

A roundabout is easy to travel through once you understand how it works. As you approach it, you’ll see a yellow roundabout ahead sign, indicating you should slow down. Drivers yield to any vehicles or bicyclists already in the 

roundabout. Everyone using the roundabout moves in a counterclockwise direction, and those already in it do not yield to approaching vehicles. Drivers should use turn signals when exiting and yield to pedestrians using the crosswalk at the roundabout. 

## Single-Lane Roundabout 

Once inside the roundabout, simply exit at the desired street. You go:

• A quarter of the way around to turn right at the next street 

• Halfway around to continue straight 

• Three-quarters around before exiting to the right, instead of making a traditional left turn 

• Full circle to make a U-turn 

## Multi-Lane Roundabout 

• As you approach, observe signs and pavement markings to choose the appropriate lane before entering the roundabout. 

• Typically you will be in the right lane to exit right out of the roundabout. 

• You stay in the left lane to go straight through the roundabout or make a left turn or U-turn. 

• Do not change lanes while in the roundabout 

## Tips & Reminders 

Remember to give larger trucks and buses extra room as they may need to straddle the lane. Big trucks should use the concrete island — called the truck apron — to help drivers maneuver around the roundabout. 

Never enter a roundabout while an emergency vehicle using flashing lights and sirens is passing through. If drivers are already in the roundabout, exit first, then pull over to let the emergency vehicle pass. 

Bicyclists should pick the appropriate lane before entering a multi-lane roundabout and stay in the middle of their chosen lane. Do not ride along the shoulder of the roundabout. Drivers should not pass a bicyclist while inside the roundabout. 

Pedestrians should use marked crosswalks along the outside of the roundabout, and not walk through the middle of it.
