Driving in the United States can feel different at first—but a few rules will make you confident quickly. Consider this your quick‑start guide to signs, intersections, and what “right on red” really means.
Roundabouts
Yield to traffic already in the circle and to pedestrians at crosswalks. Enter when clear, stay in your lane, and signal your exit. Don’t stop inside the roundabout unless blocked; merging smoothly keeps traffic flowing.
Four‑way stops
All vehicles stop; the first to arrive goes first. If two arrive together, the driver on the right proceeds. Make eye contact, signal clearly, and roll forward smoothly. When in doubt, let the other driver go first—it’s safer and friendlier.
Right on red
In most states you may turn right at a red light after a complete stop unless a sign says “No Turn on Red.” Yield to pedestrians and cross‑traffic, and take wider turns slowly on multi‑lane roads.
