    Just trying to verify that I am following the rules of the road. I have seen people make contradicting comments here in the blog.

    For traffic circles (rules of the road) is this correct?

    1. Traffic circles are considered “circular intersections.”
    RCW 46.04.118

    2. Follow any STOP or YIELD signs at the circle.
    RCW 46.61.190

    3. If the circle has no control signs:

    The first vehicle to arrive goes first.
    RCW 46.61.180

    If two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the right has the right-of-way; the vehicle on the left yields.
    RCW 46.61.180

    4. Always drive to the right of the circle (counter-clockwise around the island).
    RCW 46.61.135

    All correct. However, concerning #4 the city has said- verbally that if there are no other vehicles- or bicycles at or approaching the circle it’s fine to turn to the left of the circle.
