If you are in a roundabout, who has the right of way?

In a roundabout, vehicles that are already in the roundabout have the right of way. This design is intended to promote a smooth flow of traffic by allowing vehicles inside the roundabout to continue moving without having to stop for those entering. Vehicles entering the roundabout must yield to the traffic that is already circulating, which helps reduce the likelihood of collisions and ensures efficient passage.

While pedestrians crossing the roundabout also have a right of way at designated pedestrian crossings, this does not override the primary traffic rule that vehicles inside the roundabout have priority. Understanding this rule is crucial for both drivers and pedestrians to navigate roundabouts safely and effectively.
