Roundabouts have been used in Europe for many years, however roundabouts in the US are a fairly new idea. People who are new to roundabouts can find them very challenging, however after navigating them for a short time, people realize they are very helpful in moving traffic along without stopping.
If you are approaching a roundabout you should slow your speed and plan to stop for any pedestrians noted in the crosswalk, or any vehicles ahead of you in the roundabout. Pedestrians have the right of way as do the other vehicles already in the roundabout. You must proceed in a circular counterclockwise direction until you reach the exit that you need. You must signal your intentions, and then exit the roundabout.
Pedestrians may navigate the roundabout at walkways that are located before and after the vehicle exits.
Pedestrians should never cross a roundabout center island, or walk through the roundabout. Doing so would create a very dangerous situation for the pedestrian and a driver who might swerve to avoid a collision with a pedestrian.
Bicycles are permitted in the roadway of a roundabout. The bicyclist should position him or herself in middle of the lane in the roundabout. Bicyclist also must stop for pedestrians in a roundabout crosswalk.

- Thank you Attorney Scott, you made my reckless driving ticket go away. Alexandra: Alpharetta, GA.
- My son was arrested for racing, and reckless driving. I called attorney Scott Miller for help. He went to work right away to help us. Attorney Miller had my son take a defensive driving course and perform 40 hours of community service. Scott also had my son write a 300 word essay about the dangers of driving fast. When we went to court, Attorney Miller got my sons charges reduced and he was able to keep his drivers license. Thank you Scott for helping a mother and her son in there time of need. I recommend attorney Scott Miller highly. He is the best. A grateful mother in Alpharetta, GA.
- I was given a super speeder ticket on GA–400. I was not disappointed, he got the ticket dismissed and prevented me from having points on my license, and paying the super speeder fine. I recommend him to anyone with a speeding ticket. Alberto: Roswell, Ga.
