Are pedestrians and bicyclists able to use roundabouts?
Yes. Sidewalks are generally provided on the perimeter of the roundabout. Vehicles in the roundabout should yield the right of way to a pedestrian or to a person riding a bicycle crossing in the roundabout. However, pedestrians and bicyclists who are using a crosswalk should still look for vehicular traffic before crossing. Crossing distances at roundabouts are relatively short and pedestrians cross only one direction of traffic at a time. Bicyclists have two options. They can continue through the roundabout following the same rules as vehicles or they can enter the sidewalk and proceed as a pedestrian, walking their bike. Back to top.
