ROUNDABOUT TIPS & REMINDERS Remember to give larger trucks and buses extra room, as
they may need to straddle the lane.
Big trucks should use the concrete island — called the truck apron — to help drivers maneuver around the roundabout. Never enter a roundabout while an emergency vehicle using flashing lights and sirens is passing through. If drivers are already in the roundabout, exit first, then pull over to let the emergency vehicle pass.
Roundabouts
Bicyclists should pick the appropriate lane before entering a multi-lane roundabout and stay in the middle of their chosen lane. Do not ride along the shoulder of the roundabout. Drivers should not pass a bicyclist while inside the roundabout. Pedestrians should use marked crosswalks along the outside of the roundabout, and not walk through the middle of it.
