Calgary Traffic Circle

 

 

Local residents might be interested to know that we receive at least one inquiry per week as to how to use the traffic circle or who doesn't know how to use the traffic circle.  Most mailers are agitated and can write some colorful messages to say the least, we're sure they just walked in the door after a near accident and have a need to vent. 

Well that's OK with us...

Below are the traffic rules taken from the Alberta Drivers License Handbook.


Traffic indicated by white arrows to yield to traffic indicated by black arrows.

n a traffic circle , the vehicle on the right must yield to the vehicle on the left.The driver on the left must signal and use caution when leaving the circle and crossing through the outside lane.

In this diagram:

Traffic in the lanes indicated in red , must yield to traffic in the lanes indicated in yellow. Traffic entering into the circle must yield to traffic already in the circle. when you are leaving the traffic circle use your right turning signal to warn other drivers of your intention.

It is recommended that for safety, entry into the right hand lane of traffic circle be used mainly when intending to exit at the first available exit point. If you are intending to proceed beyond the second exit, it is recommended that you use the left hand lane.
