How fast should you go around a roundabout?

I’m a new driver and every time I encounter a roundabout I feel totally insecure about my driving abilities. I always feel like I don’t know how fast I should go or when it’s my turn to enter—so I’m curious, is there a speed limit when you’re driving in a roundabout?

I get it, roundabouts can be tricky. When you approach a roundabout you should be driving no faster than 20 to 25 miles per hour. Do not proceed into the roundabout until your path is clear.
Once you’ve given the right of way to the vehicles already in the roundabout, you can enter. Make sure you use your turning signal—this is a common oversight for many drivers.
The speed limit will likely be posted at the entrance of the roundabout. In most cases, it’s a maximum of 30 miles per hour. Maintain your speed as you travel through the roadway and be sure to use your signal again as you exit the roundabout.
