A comparison of possible collision points on a roundabout versus a traditional intersection Small modern roundabout in the United States, where vehicles are driven on the right Roundabout in the United States with separated side lanes. Vehicles entering the roundabout give way to vehicles in the roundabout.
The system is widely used in countries with right-hand traffic, including most European countries. What varies, however, is the prevalence of uncontrolled intersections. In some countries, the right of way at virtually all but the most minor road junctions is controlled by the display of priority vs. stop / yield signs or by traffic lights, while in others (such as France) priority-to-the ...

A very small proportion of low-traffic junctions are unmarked – typically on housing estates or in rural areas.
