I don’t see why not. I often joke about doing so, and have once or twice gone around and around, but the thrill quickly wears off after two or three passes.

I would love to watch someone commit to the bit and keep on until the authorities take issue.

European Vacation - Roundabout

Rentlar , (edited )

No mention of roundabout or traffic circles in Ontario’s Highway Traffic Act, but the rule that governs are the yield signs around the outside that stipulate that traffic in the roundabout has right of way.

From the Driver’s handbook:

Keep moving: Once you are in the roundabout, do not stop except to avoid a collision; you have the right-of-way over entering traffic. Do not change lanes while in the roundabout. If in the inside lane and you miss your exit, you must continue around until you meet your exit again.

This suggests, in Ontario at least, you could stay in the roundabout forever without breaking the rules.

Edit: If you’re not bothering anyone doing that, then it should be alright, but if your perpetual roundabout traversing is getting in the way of other people trying to use the roundabout, then it could be considered careless driving:

Careless driving

130 (1) Every person is guilty of the offence of driving carelessly who drives a vehicle or street car on a highway without due care and attention or without reasonable consideration for other persons using the highway. 2017, c. 26, Sched. 4, s. 17.

Illegal in my country, as you are disturbing traffic. Potentially even preventing emergency services to operate. Might be fine if you are alone though

i mean, if everyone was staying on the roundabout.... but if you have one guy goin round and round, there should be plenty of interleave for everyone else. how would it be disruptive?

im an ignorant american, just curious

Because if you let one guy do it, you have to let everyone do it.

During rush hour, it will definitely have an impact on the flow of traffic with most roundabouts, which are usually not very big (in France anyway).

Probably there are many places with no specific provisions against that but surely that would count for authorities as some sort of disruption of traffic, which are intentionally vaguely defined to cover such ambiguous eventualities.

A shame, I think it would be neat.

In major cities in America, just as an example, there is often a statue against “cruising” which is usually defined as passing by the same point more than X number of times in Y span of time. These laws are ostensibly aimed at harassing the (black) “car culture” people while they’re showing off their customized vehicles in the 'hood. It’s kind of like the vehicular version of anti-loitering laws. But you could probably apply it to OP’s case if you were twisted enough.
