"Hi! This is Casey Atkinson from Willie Driving School here in Logan, Utah. We'll talk to you a little bit about round abouts today. There's some basic rules for round abouts. When you go to a round about, always go unto the right side of the round about which is a counterclockwise direction. Do not go to the left, it's going to get ugly, go to the right, stay to the right. Now, when you go unto a round about make sure you signal before you get there. Even though you have to go right, you still want to signal right. And once you get in the round about, it's important to turn your signal off 'cos once you go on a round, if a car sees your signal on, he's going to think you're pulling out early, he's going to pull in front of you and yeah, it's going to be, it's going to be bad. So, turn your signal off while you go around and when you get to the road, you want to turn off on, signal again, signal to the right and then pull off. Also, another important tip for round abouts is when you approach a round about, make sure you yield the traffic that's already inside the round about. Way,once they get out of your way and it's safe, then you can go in there. Now, round abouts are a lot safer than 4-way stops. A 4-way stop has about 56 potential points of conflict, that's where you can get in a wreck and a round about has only 12. So, they're a lot safer and it's a good thing to know. Good luck and have fun with those round abouts."

on 10/2/2009 Casey, to a degree I disagree with one aspect about turn signals at roundabouts. Yes, were turning slightly to the right as we enter the roundabout. However, using a right turn signal can confuse drivers entering the roundabout from your right. In a large roundabout the turn signal may not be an issue. In small roundabout they can and will be. Clinton, Utah has one of the smallest roundabouts located at 1300 N. 1000 W. Utah law requires a minimum of 2 seconds of signaling before a change in direction or lane change. With that rule in mind a driver would need to drive very slowly in the Clinton roundabout to comply with the letter of the law. I teach my students that if they are making a 90 degree right turn at this roundabout to use their right turn signal as you say. If they are going straight, do not use the right turn signal until they are perpendicular to the street to the right ...
