It's 2025, and still, so many Michigan residents struggle with how to properly drive through a roundabout—what seems so simple for some can be a chaotic driving nightmare for others.

You either love or hate driving through a roundabout.

Recently, I drove through a roundabout early in the morning and noticed the car behind me just kept going around and around and around. It was around 4 a.m., so I have to imagine it was someone who had been drinking and got behind the wheel.

How Many Times Can You Legally Circle a Roundabout in Michigan?

This may come as a surprise, but there’s no specific law about how many times you can circle a roundabout, as long as you're driving safely and not interfering with traffic.
