Summary:Now that Ancaster has become the "proud" owner of a roundabout on its main thoroughfare, not to mention several in the Meadowlands and Foxwood sub-divisions, I would have to agree that drivers are going to have to learn how to use them properly. As we drive on the right-hand side of the road, that means that you must yield or give-way to cars that are approaching you, on the roundabout, from your left. Only when the coast is clear should you proceed into the roundabout. To remind drivers, especially in the residential sub-divisions where there are several roundabouts, the city has erected Yield signs at the entrance to every one of them. Because the circles are smaller, there is the temptation to drive straight through without paying proper attention to cars that may be already on the roundabout.
