Dear Editor,

This is a subject that has been bothering me for years.

I use the five-exit roundabout at 216 Street and 48 Avenue, almost daily and at least 90 per cent of the drivers do not signal. I expect if there is no signal they are going straight and past me other than that they should consider the driver trying to enter the roundabout.

Approach

• Reduce your speed and watch for road signs.
• If a multilane roundabout, choose your lane based on your intended exit.
• Watch for pedestrians and cyclists and be ready to stop at the crosswalk.
• Signal left or right to warn other drivers if you intend on turning at the roundabout (no signal if you plan to proceed straight through the roundabout).

Yield

• Always yield to traffic in the roundabout.
• Wait for a safe gap in traffic, remembering those in the roundabout have the right of way.

Enter

• Enter the roundabout by turning right in order to keep right of the island.
• Continue counter-clockwise until you reach your exit.

Exit

• Use your right turn signal before exiting.
• Again, watch for pedestrians and cyclists and be ready to stop at the crosswalk.
