Roundabouts are a proven means of controlling traffic at intersections, discouraging speeding, reducing emissions and lowering the rate of fatal crashes. Approaching vehicles must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk and to traffic in the roundabout. When you enter, yield to circulating traffic from the left, but do not stop if it is clear.
Roundabouts reduce the types of crashes that lead to fatalities. |
