Practice question

What should drivers do when navigating through a roundabout?

  1. Yield to traffic already in the roundabout and always signal when exiting
  2. Pass through without yielding
  3. Always turn left in a roundabout
  4. Only signal if other vehicles are present

Answer: A — Yield to traffic already in the roundabout and always signal when exiting

When navigating through a roundabout, drivers should yield to traffic that is already circulating within the roundabout and always use their turn signals when exiting. This practice ensures a smooth flow of traffic and helps prevent collisions. Yielding to already established traffic allows vehicles within the roundabout to maintain their flow without having to stop or slow down unexpectedly. Additionally, signaling when exiting the roundabout is crucial for communicating intentions to other drivers and pedestrians. It alerts those around you about your plan to leave the roundabout, improving safety and coordination among all road users. Following these practices helps to maintain order and efficiency in roundabouts, which are designed to facilitate traffic movement while reducing the likelihood of accidents.
