You may enter or exit a roundabout by making which type of turn?

Left
U-turn
Right
Straight

The correct answer is: Right

When approaching a roundabout, the correct maneuver to enter or exit is by making a right turn. This is because roundabouts are designed to allow for a smooth flow of traffic in a counter-clockwise direction. By entering the roundabout with a right turn, you are aligning yourself with the flow of traffic, which reduces the chances of accidents and ensures efficiency in navigating through the roundabout. Exiting the roundabout also involves a right turn when you reach your desired exit point. This method of movement ensures that you follow the designated pathways and react properly to other motorists and any traffic signs present. While left turns and U-turns may be applicable in other driving situations, they are generally not appropriate for roundabouts, as they could interfere with the circular traffic and create hazardous conditions. Additionally, traveling straight into or through a roundabout without adhering to the right turn norm can lead to confusion and possible collisions. Therefore, utilizing a right turn when entering and exiting is essential for maintaining safety and order on the roads.
