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.

Traffic Circle
In 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:
B and C must yield to A.
E must yield to D while F and D proceed together.
H must yield to G.
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. |
