Q: Now that construction on the roundabout in Clifton Park on Route 146 is done, what are the rules for using a roundabout?

A: When approaching the roundabout, slow down and choose the proper lane. Be sure to look to your left and remember that vehicles in the roundabout have the right of way. Then enter the roundabout when there is a safe gap in traffic.

Once you have entered the roundabout, you now have the right of way. Proceed carefully to your exit and make sure to use your right turn signal light. When you exit the roundabout, make sure to yield to people in the crosswalk.

NYSDOT has complete instructions and a booklet available on its web site.
