Roundabouts — Florida Permit Test

Drivers entering a roundabout must yield to traffic already in it, and may enter without yielding only when there is no traffic.

Everything works because the cars already going around never have to stop.

Drivers entering the roundabout must yield to traffic already in the roundabout.

A roundabout is a circular intersection with no traffic signal, and traffic travels around it one way, counter-clockwise.

Everybody going the same way around is what removes the crossing paths entirely.

Roundabouts travel in a one-way, counter-clockwise direction.

Do not change lanes in a roundabout and do not stop in one.

Everybody around you is moving in a tight circle and nobody has anywhere to go.

Do not change lanes in the roundabout.

Signal before exiting a roundabout.

The cars waiting to enter need to know whether you are leaving or going round again.

Signal before exiting the roundabout.

At a multi-lane roundabout, use the left lane to go straight or left and to make a U-turn, and the right lane to go straight or right.

You have to choose before you enter, because changing lanes inside is not allowed.

To go straight or right, use the right lane. To go straight or left, and to make a U-turn, use the left lane.

Before entering or exiting a roundabout, drivers must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks, and bicyclists may take the lane or use the sidewalk.

The crosswalks sit on the approaches, which is where drivers are watching the circle instead.

Prior to entering or exiting the roundabout, drivers must yield to pedestrians in the crosswalks.

Who has the right-of-way at a roundabout?

Traffic already going around inside it. Everything works because the cars already going around never have to stop. Official Florida Driver License Handbook, p.63: “Drivers entering the roundabout must yield to traffic already in the roundabout.”
