How to drive in a traffic circle [video]

Traffic circles can be tricky to navigate, but here’s a handy video that lays out the rules clearly.

Traffic circles, or roundabouts, can lead to a lot of road rage with confused drivers approaching it differently.

Says Arrive Alive, “The advantages of a roundabout or traffic circle are:

• Traffic calming
• Reduction of angle and head-on crashes
• Reduction of crash severity
• Improvement of intersection capacity
• Aesthetic improvements”

We love Discovery’s easy to follow tutorial on staying safe when taking the circle - and remember to be wary of trucks! They can take up two lanes when turning.
