What are the key defining characteristics of roundabouts that distinguish them from other traffic circles?

What will be an ideal response?


Roundabouts, as opposed to other types of traffic circles, have yield
control used on the approaches, and the roundabout design speed typically does
not exceed 30 miles per hour. Conflicting traffic movements are separated by
pavement markings or channelizing islands such that vehicles are given detailed
guidance as to proper place within the roundabout. Parking is prohibited within
the roundabout to maximize capacity.
