In a roundabout, what is the correct traffic flow direction?

Roundabouts have a single circulating direction to keep traffic predictable. In countries where you drive on the right, vehicles in the circle move counter-clockwise. Approach the roundabout, yield to vehicles already inside, merge into the flow when there’s a safe gap, and then exit at your intended road, signaling as you leave. Stopping before entering isn’t required if there’s a gap, and clockwise flow would apply only in places with left‑hand traffic.
