Roundabout intersections
From the Maryland Driver’s Manual:
“Approach roads to roundabouts are controlled by yield signs. Entering traffic must always yield to traffic already in the roundabout.
Be cautious when approaching the roundabout the same as any other intersection. As you approach the roundabout:
-reduce your speed
-keep to the right of the island
-watch for and yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk;
-cautiously approach the yield line and wait for an acceptable gap in traffic. Be cautious of vehicles exiting the roundabout. If there is no traffic, you do not need to wait to enter the roundabout.”
There are several roundabout intersections on state and county roads in St. Mary’s: On Budds Creek Road at Chaptico and at Clements and on FDR Boulevard in California and Great Mills.
