When entering a roundabout on a motorcycle, which action is correct?

• A. Enter as soon as you reach the mouth, regardless of traffic.
• B. Cut across lanes to skip the roundabout.
• C. Enter when it is safe and ride in your lane while yielding to traffic inside and pedestrians.
• D. Stop before the roundabout and wait for all traffic to clear.

Answer: (C)

When approaching a roundabout on a motorcycle, you enter only when it is safe and you ride in your lane while yielding to traffic already inside the circle and to any pedestrians. This means check for a clear gap, adjust your speed, signal your intention, and merge smoothly without weaving between lanes. Once in the roundabout, stay in your lane and continue to yield to vehicles circulating and to pedestrians at crossings. This approach avoids the danger of rushing in the mouth of the roundabout, cutting across lanes to cut ahead, or stopping and waiting for every other vehicle to clear. You proceed when you can do so safely, not because you must wait for all traffic to vanish.
