Berkeley is fond of the traffic circle, something that seems quite foreign to many drivers around the campus area. You know what we’re taking about. Channing Circle, anyone? It’s a deathtrap waiting to happen.
We’ve found that the key to getting through a traffic circle in one piece is to obey the road signs. So what the hell does “yield” mean, anyway?
Give way. Slow down. Don’t get your panties all in a wad. Drivers already in the circle have the right of way, so don’t gun the engine and force yourself into the flow of traffic. Maybe you’ll even have to–heaven forbid!–stop. Do it.
Look to your left to see if any cars are coming or about to enter the circle. Go when you know it’s clear, and make sure your way is free of cyclists and pedestrians. And if someone honks at you real bad-like, chances are you’re doing it all wrong.
