Getting a-round-about

Roundabouts are becoming more and more popular in Minnesota, especially in the most dangerous intersections.

The Minnesota Drivers Manual lists the following driving tips:

• Slow down as you approach the roundabout.
• For multi-lane roundabouts, as with any intersection, get into
  the appropriate lane as you approach the roundabout.
• Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists crossing the roadway.
• Watch for signs or pavement markings that require or prohibit
  certain movements.
• When entering a roundabout, yield to vehicles already in the roundabout. Do not cross into the roundabout until all traffic from the left has cleared.
• After entering the roundabout, drive in a counter-clockwise direction until you reach your exit.
• Do not stop, pass or change lanes within a roundabout.
• If an emergency vehicle approaches, exit the roundabout immediately and then pull over.
