Which sequence describes safely entering a roundabout?

• A. Slow down, yield, and join traffic moving counterclockwise around the circle
• B. Speed up and enter the roundabout immediately
• C. Stop before entering until all traffic clears
• D. Honk to alert other drivers before entering

Answer: (A)

Entering a roundabout safely means slowing down, yielding to vehicles already circulating, and entering only when there’s a safe gap, then continuing around the circle in the intended direction. This approach—slow down, yield, and join traffic moving counterclockwise—fits how roundabouts work: you give way to those inside the roundabout and merge smoothly rather than racing in, stopping abruptly, or sounding the horn. As you move through, maintain a controlled speed and use your turn signal to indicate when you will exit, all while watching for pedestrians and cyclists.
