What should you do when approaching a traffic circle?

When approaching a traffic circle, yielding to traffic already in the circle is essential for ensuring safety and smooth flow of traffic. The vehicles that are already circulating within the traffic circle have the right of way, which prevents accidents and facilitates orderly movement.

Entering quickly without yielding can disrupt the flow of traffic and potentially create dangerous situations. Stopping before entering the circle is unnecessary if the way is clear and does not allow for smooth traffic flow. Signaling before entering, while generally part of good driving practice, does not replace the critical action of yielding to oncoming traffic. Thus, ensuring you yield to vehicles within the circle promotes efficiency and safety for all road users.
