All roundabouts have these features:

Yield-at-entry

Traffic entering the circle yields to traffic already in the circle.

Traffic deflection

• Pavement markings and raised islands direct traffic into a one-way counterclockwise flow.

Geometric curvature

• The radius of the circular road and the angles of entry can be designed to slow the speed of vehicles.
