What is a Roundabout?<\/h3>\n

It is an intersection where the traffic flows around a circular junction. There are certain instances where the roundabout might be anything but circular and the way to recognise this is to be aware of what a roundabout signage looks like. A roundabout can have anything from 3 to any number of exits.<\/p>\n

Its purpose is to regulate a continuous flow of traffic. Road rules are in place to produce a better combination of travel safety and efficiency which would otherwise cause traffic to degenerate into a disorganised mess.<\/p>\n

How to Use a Roundabout?<\/h3>\n

\u2022 Slow down as you approach the intersection.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Give way to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the roadway.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Watch for signs and directional markings.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Enter the roundabout if the gap in traffic is sufficient.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Drive in a clockwise direction around the roundabout until you reach your exit. Do not stop or overtake other vehicles.<\/p>\n

\u2022 If you miss your exit, continue around until you return to your exit.<\/p>\n
