Roundabouts

Entering the roundabout  

• Slow down when approaching the roundabout
• Stop for any pedestrians crossing or looking to cross at a pedestrian crossover
• Yield to any traffic already in the roundabout
• Enter the roundabout only when there is a safe gap in traffic

In the roundabout  

• Travel in a counterclockwise direction
• Drive slowly and be alert of your surroundings
• Remember that entering traffic must yield to you

Exiting the roundabout  

• Stop for any pedestrians crossing or looking to cross at a crossover
• Signal right as you exit the roundabout

You can either ride through a roundabout like vehicles do or dismount and cross the roundabout as a pedestrian. If riding through the roundabout:

• Before entering the roundabout, carefully move into the center of the travel lane
• Stay in the middle of the traffic lane until you are ready to exit
• Use hand signals to signal right when exiting the roundabout

Cross roundabouts in two stages by using the curbed area in the middle of the roadway as a rest point. Never use the large centre island as a means of crossing instead cross around it. 

Roundabouts with crossovers and crosswalk markings:

• Go to the edge of the curb and let drivers know you want to cross
• Once vehicles have completely stopped you can cross

Roundabouts without crossovers and crosswalk markings:

• Wait for a safe gap in traffic and then cross
