A 2-minute lesson from the Wisconsin course. Read the rules and examples, follow the handbook page references, and check your understanding before you move on.
In a two-lane roundabout, lane choice is critical: pick your lane before you enter, based on where you're going, and stay in it. Watch for people at the crosswalks, too.
Know the rule
One-lane roundabout: yield to all traffic before entering, and yield to pedestrians at the crosswalk.
You need to make a U-turn at a two-lane roundabout. Choose the left lane before you enter, yield to traffic in both lanes, circle in the left lane without changing lanes, and signal right as you reach the exit back the way you came.
Check your understanding
Read the question, decide on an answer, then open it to check the explanation. These are Roadwise study questions based on the source handbook.
