This bill revises the right-of-way laws concerning roundabouts and rotary traffic islands in Montana. It establishes that vehicles passing around a roundabout have the right-of-way over those approaching it, which must yield accordingly. Additionally, it clarifies that a towing vehicle may deviate from its lane to safely navigate a roundabout, provided that other vehicles in the same direction yield the right-of-way. The bill also specifies that if two towing vehicles are poised to enter a roundabout simultaneously, the vehicle on the left has the right-of-way.

Furthermore, the bill amends Section 61-8-327 of the Montana Code Annotated (MCA) by removing outdated language regarding rotary traffic islands and roundabouts. It replaces the phrase "Upon a roadway designated by official traffic control devices for one-way traffic" with "On a roadway designated by official traffic control devices for one-way traffic." The definitions of "roundabout" and "towing vehicle" are also provided to clarify the terms used in the context of the law.
