Which of the following describes the correct way to navigate a roundabout?

Roundabouts work with vehicles already in the circle having the right of way. You should yield to that traffic, wait for a safe gap, then enter and travel around the circle in a counterclockwise direction. You exit at your chosen street and signal as you leave. This approach keeps traffic flowing smoothly and minimizes conflicts. Stopping at the entrance for a signal that doesn’t exist, entering without yielding, or exiting at the wrong moment can create dangerous situations, which is why this sequence is the safest and correct method.
