Roundabouts

• If you see an emergency vehicle approaching, do not stop inside the roundabout.
• If you have not yet entered the roundabout, pull to the right and let the emergency vehicles pass you.
• If you are in the roundabout, exit as normal, then pull to the right and let the emergency vehicle pass you.

• Experienced Cyclists
  • Ride as if you were driving a car.
  • Merge into the travel lane before the bike lane or shoulder ends.
  • Ride in the middle of your lane; don't hug the curb.
  • Use hand signals and signal as if you were a motorist.
  • If you are not comfortable riding through a roundabout, dismount and use the roundabout as a pedestrian would.

• Walk to the crosswalk briskly and deliberately.
• Stop to the curb and point your finger across.
• Look and listen for a safe gap in traffic flow.
• Keep and make eye contact with drivers in all lanes.
• Do not cross until the driver stops.
• Do not cross across the middle of the roundabout.
• Wait on the splitter island.
• Start to cross as soon as you are sure that the driver intends to slow or stop.

No. How you yield differs in a roundabout versus a four-way stop:

• Roundabouts: Yield to the circulating traffic from the left. Drivers choose a safe gap to enter.
• Four-way stops: Yield to whoever arrives first, or the vehicle on the right.

• Stay calm.
• Do not stop inside the roundabout.
• If you have not yet entered the roundabout, pull to the right and let the emergency vehicles pass you.
• If you are in the roundabout, exit as normal, then pull to the right and let the emergency vehicle pass you.

Yes. Roundabouts have a raised area called a truck apron around the centre island. It allows large vehicles and trucks easier circulation in the roundabout.

Note that trucks and large vehicles have a larger turning radius than cars.

• Allow large vehicles to enter the roundabout ahead of you when appropriate.
• Allow them to have clearance to occupy both lanes if necessary, by providing appropriate space.

Yes. Snow removal is similar to that of intersections. Roundabouts make it easier for snowplows to turn.

• Pedestrians go first.
• Slow down and yield to pedestrians.
• Never block the crosswalk.
• Allow pedestrians to walk across completely before proceeding.

• If a cyclist is riding in the roundabout, treat them like a vehicle.
• If a cyclist is walking their bicycle, treat them like a pedestrian and give them the right of way at crosswalks.

• Single Lane Roundabout
  If you miss your exit, keep indicating right and go all the way around the roundabout to your desired exit.
• Multi-lane Roundabout
  If the roundabout has more than one lane, look at the road markings to determine which direction is straight through. For all exits you must indicate left before you take the exit.

Yes. You must travel counterclockwise, and go with the flow of traffic.
