Who has priority at a roundabout?

• A. Vehicles entering the roundabout have priority.
• B. Pedestrians crossing in the roundabout have priority.
• C. Cyclists on the approaches have priority.
• D. Vehicles already circulating in the roundabout have priority.

Answer: (D)

Vehicles already circulating in the roundabout have priority. This means you must yield to traffic that is already inside the circle and only enter when there is a safe gap. The flow is designed so the cars in the roundabout keep moving smoothly, while those coming from the outside wait for an opening. Remember to watch for pedestrians at crossings near the roundabout and be prepared to stop if someone is crossing. Cyclists on the approaches still follow the same rule—yield to traffic inside the circle before joining or crossing.
