roundabouts

A roundabout is a circular intersection where traffic flows around a central island. Vehicles entering must yield to those already inside, allowing smooth, continuous movement without stop signs or traffic lights. This design reduces congestion and accidents by minimizing vehicle conflicts and speeds. Drivers choose their exit based on their destination, making roundabouts efficient and safe for all road users when navigated properly. Proper signaling and yielding are key to their effective operation, promoting a steady flow of traffic and reducing delays compared to traditional intersections.
