Explanation
When you are already in a traffic circle, you have the right-of-way over vehicles approaching the circle. Traffic circles or roundabouts are designed to keep traffic flowing efficiently and safely, but they require drivers to follow specific rules to prevent collisions. Drivers approaching a traffic circle must yield the right-of-way to drivers already in the circle. Additionally, drivers should be aware of any pedestrians or bicyclists in the area and yield to them before entering the roundabout.
