Future and Experienced Users
The following slides contain a sample of a fun, enjoyable way to convey valuable information regarding roundabouts to the child within us all….
Round about the RoundaboutDrive round around a roundaboutIn Bend, one lane or two.Stay in the lane that you arrive Go straight, go left or U.
A roundabout is just an intersectionWith a curveDrive round around a roundaboutChose safely all to serve.
The traffic in the roundaboutHas got the right of way.No stop signs round a roundaboutJust yield to them, OK?
Don’t crash into the other car.Don’t cross the middle line.Just drive around the roundaboutAnd exit when it’s time
Round about the RoundaboutYou walk around a roundabout.Don’t cross across, Not you!And on a bike, just travel likeA vehicle in queue.
Drive round around a roundaboutBe safe, you have a choiceJust use your head, do what we saidand travel safe – rejoice!
Drive slow around a roundaboutIt’s made that way you see,Just travel slow, get where you go,It’s safe for you and me!
The roundabout is safer thanA traffic light, it’s true!If your choice not right,
and bump you might, Fatalities are few.
When trucks drive through a roundaboutThey go one at a time.The apron helps them circulate -They get to cross the lines.
Round about the RoundaboutA siren means emergencyThink fast, look where are you?Give them a lane, someone’s in pain And let them quickly through
Drive round around a roundaboutChoose safe, and be a friendFrom here, from there, from everywhereA roundabout in Bend.
