Practice question

What direction does traffic always follow in a roundabout or traffic circle?

  1. Left
  2. Right
  3. Straight
  4. Backwards

Answer: B — Right

In a roundabout or traffic circle, traffic always follows in a counterclockwise direction, which is to the right. This is because vehicles entering the roundabout must yield to vehicles already circulating within it. By going to the right, drivers can smoothly merge into the flow of traffic without causing disruptions or accidents. This also helps maintain a continuous flow of vehicles and minimizes congestion within the roundabout. Therefore, the correct answer is B - Right.
