🚗 MASTERING MAIN PLAZA: DRIVE IT LIKE A LOCAL

If you’ve driven through downtown New Braunfels, you know the Main Plaza traffic circle can feel intimidating. But with a few simple tips, you can handle it like a pro:

  • Choose the correct lane early. Stay in the outside lane if you plan to exit soon; use the inside lane for going around further.

  • Always yield before entering. Cars already in the circle have the right of way.

  • Signal clearly. Use your blinker before exiting to keep traffic flowing smoothly.

  • Watch for pedestrians. Crosswalks around the Plaza stay busy, especially on weekends.

The key is slowing down, staying alert, and giving others a little extra space because the smoother everyone drives, the smoother the Plaza works.

Of course, even with the best habits, accidents can still happen. If you find yourself in a tough situation, our partners at The Kyle Law Firm have been standing up for drivers and families across the Hill Country for more than 25 years.
