What should you do as you approach a roundabout?

Accelerate quickly
Continue at the same speed
Slow down and yield to pedestrians
Change lanes aggressively

The correct answer is: Slow down and yield to pedestrians

As you approach a roundabout, it is essential to slow down and yield to pedestrians. Roundabouts are designed to improve traffic flow and safety, and one of their key features is that they often include crosswalks for pedestrians. By slowing down, you allow yourself enough time to assess the situation within the roundabout and to safely yield to any pedestrians who may be crossing or about to cross at the entry points. Additionally, yielding to pedestrians is a legal obligation in many jurisdictions, including Minnesota, and ensures their safety as they navigate around the roundabout. In contrast, accelerating quickly or continuing at the same speed could lead to dangerous situations, such as not being able to stop for pedestrians or misjudging the flow of traffic. Changing lanes aggressively is also inadvisable, as it can lead to confusion and potential accidents, especially since roundabouts are designed for vehicles to merge smoothly without the need for drastic lane changes.
