When approaching a roundabout, which vehicles have the right of way?

When you approach a roundabout, the vehicles already circulating inside it have the right of way. Slow down, look for traffic inside the circle, and merge only when there is a safe gap. Entering traffic must yield to the cars that are already in the roundabout, so don’t pull in if another vehicle is continuing around. Signal your intention to exit when you pass your chosen exit. Pedestrians still have priority at crosswalks, so be prepared to stop for them as you approach and leave the roundabout. This approach keeps traffic moving smoothly and prevents collisions.
