At a roundabout, you will see:

At a roundabout, the presence of a yield sign is fundamental to its operation. The yield sign instructs drivers to give way to traffic within the roundabout, facilitating a smooth flow of vehicles and minimizing potential collisions. When entering a roundabout, drivers must assess the situation and allow any cars already circulating to pass before they merge into the circular roadway. This design enhances safety and efficiency, contrasting with intersections controlled by stop signs or traffic lights, where vehicles must come to a complete stop. The yield signage specifically promotes continuous movement while ensuring that entering traffic is aware of the right-of-way rules necessary for navigating roundabouts effectively.
