====Rotary====
In the United States, traffic engineers typically use the term ''rotary'' for large-scale circular junctions between [[Limited-access road|expressways]] or [[controlled-access highway]]s. Rotaries of this type typically feature high speeds inside the circle and on the approaches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/intersection/roundabouts/presentations/safety_aspects/short.cfm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140903014341/http://safety.fhwa.dot.gov/intersection/roundabouts/presentations/safety_aspects/short.cfm|url-status=dead|archive-date=3 September 2014|title=Safety Aspects of Roundabouts&nbsp;– FHWA Safety Program|date=3 September 2014|access-date=17 October 2018}}</ref>

In the United States' [[New England]] region, however, a "[[Rotaries in Massachusetts|rotary]]" is typically used as the general term for all roundabouts, including those with modern designs. State laws in these states mandate that traffic already driving in the rotary always has the right of way. For instance, in [[Massachusetts]], "Any operator of a vehicle entering a rotary intersection shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle already in the intersection."<ref>{{cite web|url=https://malegislature.gov/Laws/GeneralLaws/PartI/TitleXIV/Chapter89/Section8|title=General Law&nbsp;– Part I, Title XIV, Chapter 89, Section 8|website=malegislature.gov|access-date=17 October 2018}}</ref> In [[Rhode Island]] entering vehicles "Yield to vehicles in the roundabout."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dmv.ri.gov/documents/manuals/Driver_Manual_FINAL.pdf|title=Rhode Island Driver's Manual |website=Dmv.ri.gov|access-date=17 October 2018}}</ref>
