This second strategy also applies to roundabouts or traffic circles. Roundabouts allow vehicles to travel through an intersection in a counter-clockwise circle. Vehicles already in the roundabout have the right-of-way. Wait to enter the roundabout until there is a large enough gap in traffic. Unless the traffic in front of you stops, you should never stop while navigating the roundabout.
