How to correctly navigate a traffic circle

Traffic circles are used to avoid confusion at a busy intersection and they allow traffic to flow faster. Once you know and understand traffic circle rules, you’ll make your way around them with ease, says motoring management company, MotorHappy.
 
Screw that - gear down, steer into circle and floor it :-)
 
I love traffic circles. They can be used in so many more places than they currently are. Traffic doesn't come to a halt and queue up like at robots. If somebody doesn't slow down enough and tries to fly through like at a 4-way stop, then they will end up in the island. :thumbsup:

They are quite popular here, north of Durban, even on the main roads. There are a few off/on ramp intersections that cause major delays during rush hour, I wish those could be converted into circles as well.

They also work whilst there is load shedding and are relatively immune to drunk drivers.

The only thing they need is a sniper in a nest in the middle of each circle to shoot the drivers/pedestrians who don't follow the rules.
 
  • After you have entered the traffic circle, indicate if you are exciting left or right (9 o’clock or 3 o’clock) once you have reached your desired exit.
Very exciting left, very very exciting.

Very exciting left, very very exciting.

Proof reading and spell checking is for the senior journalists like Jamie :thumbsup:
