A 2-minute lesson from the Mississippi course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
Even when no sign tells you to stop or yield, the rule is still to yield. That's true pulling out of a driveway, at an intersection with no signs or signals, and entering a roundabout.
Know the rule
When entering a street or highway from a driveway or other entrance, you must stop and yield to oncoming traffic, even if no stop sign is present.
Roundabout / traffic circle warning signYield to cars already in the circle; merge carefully if the way is clear
Put it into practice
You reach a roundabout just as a car already circling approaches from your left. Slow down and let it pass, then merge counterclockwise when the way is clear. Signal before you exit.
