Roundabouts — Nevada Permit Test

Traffic entering a roundabout must yield the right-of-way to traffic already circulating within it.

Cars in the circle cannot stop short, so a driver who pushes in without yielding gets hit on the side.

Entering traffic must yield the right-of-way to the traffic circulating within the roundabout.

All traffic moves in one direction around a roundabout: counterclockwise.

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

All traffic moves in ONE DIRECTION around the roundabout – COUNTERCLOCKWISE.

In a roundabout, use the left lane to turn left, complete a U-turn, or go straight.

A car in the right lane that tries to go all the way around cuts off cars leaving the circle.

Use the left lane to turn left, complete a U-turn, or to go straight.

In a roundabout, use the right lane to turn right or to go straight.

Turning right from the left lane means crossing in front of the car beside you.

Use the right lane to turn right or to go straight.

Use your right turn signal when exiting a roundabout.

Without a signal, drivers waiting to enter cannot tell you are leaving and may pull out in front of you.

Use your right turn signal when exiting.

Large commercial trucks and trailers may use the truck apron around a roundabout's center island; cars should not.

A car on the apron is right where a long truck's rear wheels track, and it gets run over.

The exception is large commercial trucks and trailers which are permitted to use the truck apron provided around the center island to negotiate the tight turning radius.

When you enter a roundabout, who has the right-of-way?

Traffic already in the circle. Cars in the circle cannot stop short, so a driver who pushes in without yielding gets hit on the side. Nevada Driver Handbook, p.44: “Entering traffic must yield the right-of-way to the traffic circulating within the roundabout.”
