Roundabouts

Roundabouts are circular intersections where two or more roads meet. Instead of stopping at red lights, traffic moves to the right, counterclockwise, around a centre island. With fewer contact points and slower vehicle speeds, roundabouts can decrease the risk of serious accidents.

Roundabouts are being used more frequently in Loyalist and Kingston so you should make sure you know how to use them.

How to use a roundabout

Roundabouts and older traffic circles are all controlled by the "yield to the left" principle - cars on the roundabout have right-of-way over entering vehicles.

You must signal right as you exit the roundabout.

There are different things you need to know depending on whether you are using them as a driver, cyclist or pedestrian.
