The Town of Whitchurch-Stouffville has launched a roundabout education campaign.

Roundabouts are popping up in municipalities all over the GTA; Whitchurch-Stouffville now has more than half a dozen.  These circular intersections don’t have stop signs or traffic signals, yet they have been proven to be substantially safer.

When entering a roundabout always approach slowly and be aware of any pedestrians or cyclists. When inside the roundabout, be alert for entering traffic, drive in a counter-clockwise direction and never pass another vehicle or stop within the roundabout. When exiting a roundabout always signal, be aware of pedestrians and cyclists and continue down the street being aware to not stop too close to the roundabout.

For more information about roundabouts visit the town's website at townofws.ca/roundabouts, or check out the town’s video at https://vimeo.com/288070764
