WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE SPEED TO DRIVE THROUGH THE ROUNDABOUT?
Single lane roundabouts are designed for speeds less than 15 to 20 mph due to their turning radii and traffic conditions may require even slower speeds than these. Multi-lane roundabouts have similar design speeds due to their geometry, but their speeds will vary more depending on traffic conditions. Drivers should proceed slowly enough to allow entry drivers the ability to take advantage of gaps in the traffic stream to enter the roundabout smoothly and efficiently. Drivers should drive slowly enough to be able to stop at any time for pedestrians or other traffic.
