Salmon Arm driving instructor provides roundabout navigation guide
A new single-lane roundabout is nearing completion at the intersection of 30th Street NE and 11th Avenue NE in Salmon Arm. This location is described as a heavily used traffic corridor that was previously considered a dangerous and time-consuming crossing.
Local driving instructor Lisa Bennett provided guidance for navigating the city's roundabouts, noting that Salmon Arm also features two back-to-back single-lane roundabouts located near the Trans-Canada Highway exit 478. Bennett emphasized that roundabouts are uncontrolled intersections requiring drivers to enter in a counterclockwise direction, yield to vehicles already in the circle, and yield to pedestrians at crosswalks.
