Who has the right-of-way in a roundabout?

• A. Vehicles entering first have priority
• B. Pedestrians always have priority
• C. You should stop at all times
• D. Vehicles already circulating; yield when entering; signal when exiting

Answer: (D)

In a roundabout, vehicles already circulating have the right-of-way. You must yield when entering, slowing and waiting for a safe gap in the traffic inside the circle. Once you’re in, keep moving to your intended exit and signal as you approach it to let others know you’re leaving. If you miss your exit, continue around until you reach it again. Be mindful of pedestrians at crosswalks near the entrances and exits. This rule keeps traffic flowing smoothly by prioritizing those already inside the roundabout and guiding entering vehicles to wait their turn.
