What is a "traffic circle"?
A traffic circle is a circular intersection where several roads meet, and vehicles move around a central island in one direction to reach their desired exit. The design of a traffic circle helps improve traffic flow by reducing the need for stop signs or traffic signals, allowing cars to keep moving. Traffic circles are often used in busy areas or where roads intersect at sharp angles. They are meant to reduce the chance of accidents by controlling the speed of vehicles and providing a clear path for drivers to follow when navigating through the intersection.
Example
The new traffic circle at the intersection has made it easier to get through the busy area.
You will need to take the second exit when you reach the traffic circle.
After the traffic circle, the road leads straight to the shopping mall.
