safe-driving
When entering a modern roundabout, what should a driver do before joining the circulating traffic?
- Slow down and yield to traffic already in the circle
- Enter first because circulating vehicles must yield at the entry
- Stop inside the circle until every approach is empty
- Travel clockwise to reach the nearest exit
Answer: Slow down and yield to traffic already in the circle. Texas describes a modern roundabout as a one-way circle controlled by yield signs instead of traffic lights. The entering driver slows down, gives priority to vehicles already circulating, waits for an acceptable gap, and then travels counterclockwise. Entering ahead of circulating traffic reverses the yield rule, while stopping in the circle creates a new obstruction. Clockwise travel is also contrary to the direction described in the handbook. Use a simple approach cue: reduce speed, check the circle, yield, enter counterclockwise, then signal for the exit.
