In Canada, roundabouts are navigated by circulating to the right around the central island. You approach the circle, yield to vehicles already inside, enter when safe, and then travel clockwise around the island, staying in the circulating roadway and signaling before you exit onto your chosen road. This keeps traffic flowing smoothly and predictably. Driving to the left around the island or staying on the outside only isn’t how roundabouts are designed to be used, and you don’t drive on the island itself—you pass around it on the right.
