Passing target: 70% (14/20)
You approach a single-lane roundabout. A pedestrian is crossing the crosswalk at your entrance, and a car is already circling toward you from the left. What should you do?
A approaches a single-lane roundabout from the west. C crosses A’s entry crosswalk, and B approaches from A’s left while circulating counterclockwise. A YIELD sign faces the entrance.
Correct answer: Yield to the pedestrian and to the circling car, then enter when there is a safe gap
Why
Roundabouts use a yield-at-entry rule: vehicles in the circle have the right-of-way, and you wait for a gap before you enter. As you approach, follow the lane signs, choose your lane early on a multi-lane approach, and slow down. Look to the left, because circling traffic comes from that side. Roundabouts are designed for low speeds of 30 mph or less, which gives everyone more time to see and yield.
