                                           communities
                                           are embracing

                                            the concept of



                                               roundabouts
                                          as safer, more efficient intersections
                                           for drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists


                                                    in some areas. As you
                                                    approach a roundabout:






















                                                   • Slow down
                                                   • Observe advisory speed limit signs
                                                   • Yield to pedestrians and bicycles
                                                   • Yield to traffic already in the circle
                                                   • Look to the left and enter when there is a gap in the
                                                     circulating traffic
                                                   • Drive counter-clockwise, with the flow of traffic
                                                   • Do not stop in the roundabout – once in the
                                                     roundabout, you have the right-of-way
                                                   • As you approach your exit, turn on your right turn
                                                     signal, watch for cyclists and pedestrians, then exit
