See here in RSA we drive on the left hand side of the road and yield to the right on a traffic circle. This seem illogical and I was just wondering whether countries that drive on the right hand side also yield to the right or whether they yield to the left.
In New York State, this question is made confusing by the fact that there are two kinds of circular intersections, the “roundabout” and the “traffic circle”:
However, my Drivers’ Ed teacher (who was an idiot who gave me lots of misinformation on other things, including how to react to traffic cops, but we won’t get into that) never made a distinction between roundabouts and traffic circles. There’s a roundabout in a town about fifteen miles from my hometown, and we drove on it several times in Drivers’ Ed, and each time we were told that even though the signs said that incoming traffic must yield, a real traffic circle would mean that the people in the circle would have to yield to us. This served only to confuse us all even more…
