Can a driver stop in a roundabout?

The correct choice is that a driver can stop in a roundabout to yield to pedestrians. Roundabouts are designed to improve traffic flow and safety by reducing the need for stops and by using yield signs instead of stop signs. However, safety must always take precedence, which is why stopping to yield to pedestrians is not only permissible but often necessary when they are present.

In a roundabout, stopping excessively or for extended periods can lead to confusion and create hazards for other vehicles. Drivers should be aware of their surroundings and ensure they do not create an obstruction. Consequently, stopping should be limited to situations where it is essential to yield to pedestrians or in case of an emergency. Understanding the appropriate behavior in a roundabout enhances both driver safety and the overall efficiency of traffic movement.
