Green Eagan Know the Ins and Outs of Roundabouts Roundabouts have proven safer than traditional intersections, keeping vehicles, pedestrians, and bikers moving and avoiding one another. That’s why Eagan and Dakota County have added a number of them over the years. The two newest roundabouts opened in late August on Diffley Road — one at Daniel Drive and another at Braddock Trail. Whether you’re a driver, pedestrian, or bicyclist, now’s the time to refresh your roundabout skills. Driver: Slow down when approaching; for multilane roundabouts, get into the appropriate lane. Yield to pedestrians in crosswalk, both when entering and exiting; it’s the law. Yield to vehicles already in the roundabout and merge into traffic when safe to do so. Once you’re safely driving in a roundabout, don’t stop or pass. Exit roundabout immediately for emergency vehicles and then pull over; don’t stop in a roundabout. Give large trucks extra space in a roundabout. Pedestrian: Cross only at crosswalks and always stay on designated walkways; use pedestrian crosswalk flasher when possible. If there’s a median at the crosswalk, stop and check for traffic again before continuing. NEVER cut across a roundabout to the interior ring. Bicyclist: Ride with traffic inside roundabout or use crosswalks and ramps (especially for bikers who may ride much slower than traffic). Follow the same rules as vehicles and yield when entering a roundabout.
