How fast do you go around roundabouts?
It all depends on the size of the roundabout and it’s location. If it’s a proper size roundabout in a built up area (30 or 40 mph zone) then I’ll do between 20-30 mph. If it’s on a 50 mph zone then I’ll do around 30 mph (maybe just under or just over 30 mph). If it’s a mini roundabout in a residential area, then I’ll do around 15-20 mph.
