Traffic travelling safely around a roundabout in North Dakota.
Medium

A roundabout is a circular intersection where drivers travel counterclockwise around a center island. There are no traffic signals or stop signs in a roundabout. Drivers entering the roundabout must yield to the traffic inside the roundabout. The only way to exit the roundabout is to make a right hand turn at your desired highway. In a roundabout, there is no stopping – only yielding. The roundabout is expected to not only improve current traffic flow, but also accommodate the increased traffic the area anticipates long-term.
