Brianne Herridge crosses a crosswalk and rounds a roundabout in Lake Country on her way to work or when she is going for a walk in the neighbourhood.

She said on numerous occasions, cars zoom past her when she香蕉视频直播檚 waiting at the crosswalk and near collisions happen routinely at the roundabout.

香蕉视频直播淚t香蕉视频直播檚 a little frustrating,香蕉视频直播� Herridge said, a Turtle Bay Pub and Starbucks employee.

The roundabouts this Lake Country resident uses are the ones located in The Lakes development, mainly at Oceola and Lake Hill.

In his three years with the district detachment, RCMP Cpl. Doug Haftner said he has never personally attended a crash scene at a roundabout.

Haftner concluded that the correct way to use a roundabout is to yield to the car that is already in the roundabout.

If a motorist is carrying on past the first stop, they should activate their left-turn signal to note that they are not exiting, then flip to their right-turn signal when exiting.

However, Lake Country resident Dean Fleming said, 香蕉视频直播淪top and think people. You are never ever to trust a signaling driver. If you pull out in front of someone with their signal on and they hit you, it is your fault.

Matthew Salmon, director of engineering and environmental services for Lake Country, said even the district has a bit of confusion over what the correct way to use a roundabout is.

The United Kingdom-born engineer is used to using his left signal for the third (or left) exit only, but here he noticed that it香蕉视频直播檚 done differently.

香蕉视频直播淭he fundamental principles don香蕉视频直播檛 change,香蕉视频直播� he said. 香蕉视频直播淵ou always have to drive with due care and good intentions.香蕉视频直播�

One of those fundamental principles that he expressed garners plenty of complaints: look left before entering the roundabout and yield to cars that are already in the roundabout.

Roundabouts were developed throughout Lake Country because it curbs speeding by physically making a driver slowdown while turning and therefore, creates a safer driving environment.

The District of Lake Country website has posted a roundabout navigation video, to defuze confusion about proper signalling and usage.

You can find the by visiting the 香蕉视频直播渞oads and sidewalks香蕉视频直播� category, located under 香蕉视频直播渓iving in our community香蕉视频直播� tab.

ICBC stated that roundabouts improve traffic flow, reduce serious crashes, injuries and can even reduce greenhouse gas emissions; mainly when they are used properly.

香蕉视频直播淲hen you香蕉视频直播檙e leaving the roundabout, signal a right turn just before you exit,香蕉视频直播� ICBC wrote on their website.

香蕉视频直播淭hat lets drivers waiting to enter the roundabout and pedestrians waiting to cross know your intentions.香蕉视频直播�

Drivers are to yield to pedestrians before crossing the exit lane but otherwise, are not to stop while inside the roundabout, according to ICBC.

Cyclists can ride either with traffic or in the bike lane.

For riders who are riding on the road, they are to merge with traffic before you enter the roundabout.

For those who are using the bike lane, enter the roundabout via the ramp that extends from the shoulder of the road.

香蕉视频直播淚 hope we can all be safe and get through all this construction in one piece,香蕉视频直播� Herridge said.
