In Portuguese traffic law, who has right of way when a vehicle enters a roundabout (rotunda)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout have right of way
- Step 1: Roundabout priority rule. Step 2. Article 31 of the Código da Estrada establishes that drivers entering a roundabout must yield to vehicles already circulating within it. Answer: Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout have right of way. Why not the others: The general right-hand rule is overridden at roundabouts; vehicle weight and speed do not grant priority.
