Driving through a roundabout
MTO Driver’s Handbook: Safe and Responsible Driving, Driving through roundabouts
A roundabout is an intersection with a central island, and traffic circulates around it in a counter-clockwise direction. Choose your lane as you would at any other intersection: the left lane to turn left or go straight, the right lane to turn right or go straight. Do not enter a roundabout from the right lane if you want to turn left.
