How to use a roundabout

[robguz]

There seems to be alternate instructions going around and being widely obeyed.

1. Slow down to a crawl several hundred feet before approaching the roundabout.
2. If there are cars in the roundabout, come to a complete stop.
3. If there are no cars in the roundabout, come to a complete stop.
4. Once there are no cars in the roundabout, double check to make sure no cars are approaching the round about, then turn right into in.
5. Drive as slowly as possible without your car stalling. If you are very confused, turn left into the roundabout if that seems to make more sense.
6. If you see another car in front of you approaching the roundabout, come to a complete stop and let them in, then return to instruction 2 and proceed slowly only when no cars are in the roundabout or approaching it.
7. Pick an exit, but do not signal. Many signal and then fail to actually turn as their signal indicates, so just don't use them.
8. As you exit, even though you are in an isolated lane with no cross traffic, maintain your slow speed until you are well past the police station. They will ticket drivers going over 15 MPH. If heading south, maintain speed until past Kahakai.
9. 1/4 mile past the roundabout exit there is a 55 MPH sign towards Hilo, and a 45 MPH sign towards Kapoho/Kalapana. These are suggestions only. Maintain 15MPH speed until well past the signs. Slow down at random as there may be another roundabout elsewhere.
10. Always return to step 1 if you have any doubt about proper driving procedures.
