It was a less than triumphant return to form with last week鈥檚 Road Warrior column. Many readers pointed out that the advice to yield to the right-hand driver is actually not appropriate for navigating a roundabout.

Since I typically handle roundabouts by crossing my fingers and offering a little prayer to the road gods, it slipped past me. I鈥檓 beginning to see why drivers on Sunset Road drove straight through the traffic features (the Bernalillo County roundabouts were removed last year).

My apologies. A note: there were too many messages to respond to each individually. If you reached out, please know that I appreciate your time and readership. Several readers handled an embarrassing error of mine with grace, tact and even humor.

But let鈥檚 take a metaphorical U-turn and try this again. Here鈥檚 how to actually handle a roundabout, per the city鈥檚 Department of Municipal Development.

Although roundabouts can help increase safety, said DMD spokesperson Dan Mayfield, 鈥渦nfortunately, many people can be confused about how to properly use a roundabout.鈥�

Let鈥檚 change that! One simple instruction does the trick: 鈥淭here is one good rule to remember for a roundabout: those inside have the right-of-way,鈥� Mayfield said.

That means vehicles on the left have the right of way 鈥� and they鈥檙e not obligated to slow down or stop to let you in.

鈥淥nly enter a roundabout if you have a safe gap,鈥� Mayfield continued. 鈥淥nce in the roundabout, don鈥檛 stop for cars that are waiting on the outside; this could cause a rear-end collision.鈥�

Now, back to your regularly scheduled Road Warrior content.

SURPRISE STOPS: Pump those brakes!

West Side Tony writes: 鈥淭here are numerous intersections in this city where you are driving down a steep hill (usually at a speed over the limit because of the steep slope) where one will encounter a traffic signal. Why doesn鈥檛 the city install warning signals that a traffic signal ahead is about to turn red? Many other states have these signals.鈥�

That鈥檚 one downside to the high desert life.

The city considers adding warning signs 鈥� but not necessarily signals notifying an upcoming red light 鈥� if there are visibility issues like those Tony described. That includes anything that could keep drivers from knowing when to hit the brakes, including when a hill blocks a traffic light.

One such sign is located on the southbound frontage road heading toward Mountain.

鈥淎fter several severe crashes in the area, a sign and warning flashers were added to let drivers know about the upcoming light,鈥� Mayfield said.

I might advise drivers to take hills slowly, but my driving tips should be taken with a grain of salt.
