Roundabouts — Wyoming Permit Test

Traffic in a roundabout moves at slow speeds in a counterclockwise direction.

Everyone going the same way around means no head-on or right-angle crashes inside the circle.

Traffic moves at slow speeds in a counterclockwise direction, and is constantly moving except when yielding to traffic in the roundabout and pedestrians in the crosswalks.

As you approach a roundabout, slow down and yield to pedestrians and to traffic already in the roundabout.

Cars already circling cannot stop for you easily, so the entering driver waits for a gap.

Slow down as you approach the roundabout and yield to pedestrians and traffic already in the roundabout;

To enter a roundabout, look to the left, wait for a gap in traffic and merge in.

Traffic in a roundabout comes at you from the left, so that is where the gap you need will open.

Look to the left, wait for a gap in traffic and merge into the roundabout;

Once you are in a roundabout, keep moving and do not stop.

Cars behind you in the circle do not expect a stop, and stopping invites a rear-end crash.

Once in the roundabout, keep moving, don't stop;

In a roundabout, use your turn signal as you leave, and yield to pedestrians as you exit.

Signaling your exit tells drivers waiting to enter that they can go, and people may be crossing your exit road.

Proceed to your exit, use your turn signal to indicate you are leaving the roundabout and yield to pedestrians as you leave the roundabout;

Which way does traffic travel in a roundabout?

Counterclockwise. Everyone going the same way around means no head-on or right-angle crashes inside the circle. Wyoming Rules of the Road Driver License Manual, p.48: “Traffic moves at slow speeds in a counterclockwise direction, and is constantly moving except when yielding to traffic in the roundabout and pedestrians in the crosswalks.”
