RoundaboutBosnia and Herzegovina
5. Roundabout
A roundabout is a circular road arrangement in which traffic travels around a central island in one designated direction. Vehicles enter and leave through connecting roads, and traffic signs or local rules determine who has priority.
Drivers should reduce speed, choose a suitable lane, observe all road users and signal as required when leaving. The direction of travel, entry priority, lane use and rules for cyclists and pedestrians depend on local traffic signs and regulations.

Who has priority at a roundabout in Bosnia and Herzegovina?
The Traffic Safety Law requires roundabout traffic to be regulated so that vehicles already circulating have priority. Read the installed signs and controls before entering rather than relying only on the shape of the junction.
