Every city I’ve ever been to the traffic in the roundabout has the right of way, so I’m interested to see how the roundabouts work in @janbb’s state. Some states or counties that have multi-lane roundabouts you’re expected to move to the outer lane to exit, but where I live you aren’t allowed to change lanes once inside the roundabout, you need to enter in the correct lane just like you enter a typical intersection in the correct lane.
Traffic circles can be huge and have traffic lights and literally stop traffic in the circle to allow traffic in. Depends on the circle.
Where I live we most often call the roundabouts circles, but I’m pretty sure technically they are roundabouts.
In the US having different laws from state to state regarding circles makes it harrowing down in FL where I live, because too often people don’t look up the local laws and we get tons of snowbirds and people on vacation doing the wrong thing. Every rec center where I live has a pamphlet on the rules, it’s also online, and at every circle there is a traffic sign. Still, I catch people who have lived there for years posting on Facebook, or talking in conversations, or emotions ven when I’m driving with them, with incorrect information about the circles.
Example of just how many roundabouts we have, this recreation map has them marked with grey circles. https://www.districtgov.org/departments/Recreation/images/RecMap.pdf Or, you can gps map for yourself Brownwood Paddock Sq, The Villages, FL to Sumter Landing, The Villages, FL and you’ll see in 6 miles you go through about 11 roundabouts on the Buena Vista route. Something like that. It’s constant.
