Roundabout rules — Nebraska Permit Test

Traffic in a roundabout flows one-way in a counter-clockwise direction around the center island.

A car going the wrong way around the circle meets every other car head-on.

However traffic flows one-way in a counter-clockwise direction around the center island.

Roundabouts provide truck aprons, raised paved areas next to the circular roadway for the rear wheels of large trucks to use when turning.

A long trailer cuts the corner when it turns, and without room its back wheels would climb the island.

Roundabouts provide truck aprons, raised paved areas next to the circular roadway for the rear wheels of large trucks to use when turning.

Which way does traffic flow around a roundabout's center island?

One-way, counter-clockwise. A car going the wrong way around the circle meets every other car head-on. Nebraska Driver’s Manual, p.49: “However traffic flows one-way in a counter-clockwise direction around the center island.”
