SR 206 - Bruce Road Intersection Roundabout - How to Drive a Roundabout

The new SR 206 roundabout has one lane of circulating traffic. Motorists on SR 206 or Bruce Road will enter the roundabout when the path is clear, travel in the counterclockwise rotation around the center island, and exit to one of the three other legs. The roundabout will also be able to accommodate larger vehicles such as busses, trucks, and semi tractor/trailer combinations.

How To Drive a Roundabout

As a driver approaches a roundabout, there will be a YIELD sign. The driver should slow down, watch for pedestrians and bicyclists and be prepared to stop if necessary.

When a driver enters, he/she yields to circulating traffic on the left, but does not stop if the way is clear.

The roundabout will have ONE WAY signs mounted in the center island. They help guide traffic and indicate that the driver must stay to the right of the center island.

When approaching the desired exit leg, the driver should turn on his/her right turn signal and watch for pedestrians and bicyclists as he/she exits.

Left turns are completed by traveling around the central island.
