Yes, Roundabouts Have Come To Brentwood: Here's How You Navigate Them

BRENTWOOD, TN — A new roundabout is operational at Crockett Road and Arrowhead Drive near Crockett Park.

Not particularly common in this part of the world, though they are being used by traffic engineers more and more frequently, because they are more efficient at moving traffic than a traditional four-way stop or even a light-controlled intersection, roundabouts can be intimidating to drivers who are unfamiliar with them.

The Brentwood Police Department is offering tips on how to safely navigate a roundabout. Most importantly: always go to the right and, when entering the roundabout, always yield to traffic coming from the left.

There's no mention in the video, posted on the city's Facebook page, about the real advantage of the roundabout: if your unsure of where to exit, you can always just drive around and around and around and around until you figure it out.
