What is a roundabout:
A roundabout is a circular intersection where vehicles move counter-clockwise around an island. There are no stop signs or lights so traffic entering the intersection must yield to vehicles in either lane of the roundabout.
Why roundabouts:
Roundabout improve safety for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers. They also improve traffic flow and reduce idling and fuel consumption. The Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure reports roundabouts have 35% fewer crashes, 90% fewer vehicle fatalities and 76% few vehicle-related injuries.
How to use a roundabout:
Approach
Enter
Exit
Emergency vehicles in roundabouts:
If you're in a roundabout and hear and emergency vehicle, do not stop in the roundabout. Proceed through the roundabout and then pull over to the side of the road when it is safe to do so.
Please visit the Ministry of Transportation and check out their "How to Use a Roundabout" videos, interactive animation and infographic.
