Roundabout Rules of the Road

Drivers

Traffic within the roundabout has the right of way. Traffic entering the roundabout must yield to traffic within the roundabout.
Once you are in the roundabout keep to the right and travel in a counter-clockwise direction to your exit.
Do not stop in the roundabout; you have the right of way. Motorists should only stop in the roundabout to avoid a collision.

Pedestrians

Pay attention when crossing the road.
Step to the curb and point your finger across the crosswalk to indicate to drivers that you plan to cross.
Use good body language. Make eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you.
Look and Listen - Wait for a safe gap in traffic so the oncoming traffic is able to safely yield.
Do not cross in the middle of the Roundabout - Always use the sidewalks and crosswalks around the outside of the roundabout.
Cross one lane of traffic at a time. Wait in the splitter island until a gap is available to cross safely.

Cyclists

If comfortable, approach a roundabout as a car. Follow the exact rules that a car would.
Claim the lane - ride in the centre of the lane and don't hug the curb.
If uncomfortable, walk your bike the same as a pedestrian would.
