Correct answer
travelling around a roundabout, over those intending to enter it.
At an unsignalled intersection, right of way is governed by certain rules. In the case of a roundabout, vehicles that are already travelling around the circulatory carriageway of the roundabout have priority over those intending to enter it. This means that vehicles already on the roundabout are not obliged to give way to those wishing to join it. This rule helps maintain a continuous flow of traffic at roundabouts and makes for safer, smoother driving. Therefore, at a roundabout, priority is given to the vehicles already on the circulatory carriageway.
