How to Drive in a Roundabout

Jun 25, 2009 Kennewick Life

Okay, now that we have even more roundabouts in Kennewick with the Blue Bridge construction moving along, this is important. People on the GetConnected Tri-Cities mailing list are writing almost every day about near-death experiences due to ignorant, uninformed drivers who don’t have a clue about how to drive through a roundabout.

WSDOT has a somewhat lengthy video on this web page that everyone should watch. I’ll embed a shortened version of it here.

Seriously, people, you have to slow down when you approach a roundabout. It’s not like driving through an intersection with a green light in front of you. Slow down, and if there’s anyone in the roundabout already, stop and yield — they have the right-of-way. It’s really not complicated. Take your time and stop treating the roundabout like a racetrack.
