When entering a roundabout, which vehicle should you yield to?

• A. The car on the left.
• B. Traffic already in the roundabout.
• C. Vehicles in the opposite lane.
• D. Pedestrians only.

Answer: (A)

When approaching a roundabout, the key rule is to yield to traffic that is already circulating inside the circle. Those vehicles have priority because they’re moving through the intersection, and you must wait for a safe gap before entering. Pedestrians at crosswalks near the entry and exit also have priority, so be prepared to stop if someone is crossing. Once you’re in the roundabout, stay in your lane and signal as you exit to help others know your intention. The general idea isn’t to yield to a car on the left specifically; the priority is to vehicles already in the roundabout.
