With roundabouts appearing all over the state, Wisconsin residents have been weighing in on their likes and dislikes. Personally, I like roundabouts. They seem to keep the flow of traffic moving faster than stopping and starting at a four way intersection. And isn’t that better on our cars anyway?

- Slow down.
- Obey traffic signs.
- Yield to pedestrians and bicyclists.
- Yield to traffic on your left already in the roundabout.
- Enter the roundabout when there is a safe gap in traffic.
- Keep your speed low within the roundabout.
- As you approach your exit, turn on your right turn signal.
- Yield to pedestrians and bicycles as you exit.
- Avoid stopping in the roundabout.
