When approaching a roundabout, you should

• A. Enter immediately from the left side.
• B. Look to your left to check for an appropriate gap, and yield to traffic and bicyclists in the circle.
• C. Stop at the roundabout entrance.
• D. Turn on your right turn signal to exit.

Answer: (B)

When approaching a roundabout, the essential move is to look to your left to check for an appropriate gap and yield to traffic and bicyclists already circulating. This lets you merge safely into the circle, since vehicles inside the roundabout have the right of way. Enter only when there’s a safe gap, then proceed counterclockwise around the central island and exit when you’ve reached your intended exit, signaling as you depart. The other options clash with this flow: entering immediately would cut off traffic in the circle; stopping at the entrance slows everyone down; signaling to exit is something you do as you approach your exit, but it does not replace the need to yield before entering.
