Flemington Circle

Flemington Circle is the largest of three traffic circles in the environs of Flemington and sits just to the southeast of Flemington's historic downtown. US 202 and Route 31 approach the circle separately from the north and continue south concurrent, and the circle is the eastern terminus of Route 12. It is one of only a handful of New Jersey's once-widespread traffic circles still extant according to its original design. Unlike most circles, traffic on US 202 does not yield on entry; US 202, being a main four-lane divided highway, gets the right-of-way.

Two other traffic circles exist on Route 12 just west of the Flemington Circle. Both are unnamed and handle a much smaller volume of traffic; the first one, at South Main Street (old Route 31), is also in Flemington, and the other, at Flemington Road/Route 523 (old Route 12), is in Raritan Township.
