Modern Roundabouts

Modern roundabouts are becoming common around the United States and are a key component of the Lake County highway system. Roundabouts provide safer and more efficient traffic flow than standard intersections in many locations. Navigating a roundabout is easy – and since traffic moves in only one direction, there are less severe crashes and traffic flows smoothly.

When driving through roundabouts, drivers should remember four simple things:

• Slow down.
• Yield to traffic coming from the left and pedestrians.
• No passing.
• Choose the appropriate lane.
