This many B.C. drivers don't feel confident in a roundabout

Despite becoming an increasingly preferred way of moving traffic through busy areas, driver comfort with roundabouts isn’t keeping pace.

A new study from ICBC showed 57 per cent of drivers feel comfortable moving through a single-lane roundabout while only 29 per cent feel assured in multi-lane roundabouts.

The survey also shows 15 per cent of drivers find it difficult to know who has the right of way when entering a roundabout.

This correlates with drivers’ biggest frustration when it comes to navigating roundabouts: other drivers not yielding to vehicles that have the right of way, according to ICBC.

Ara, from 103.1 Beach Radio, got reacquainted with a roundabout to remind himself of the dos and don’ts.

Modern roundabouts can reduce injury crashes by up to 75 per cent, according to ICBC, as they reduce speed and eliminate head-on, right-angle, and left-turn crashes.
