| '''White Horse Circle''' is a ] locally known by name, in the southwest part of White Horse. It is no longer a true traffic circle, but is bisected by northbound ], which makes a left turn in the circle. This intersection connects South Broad Street (US 206 north and ] east), White Horse-Mercerville Road (] north) and Bordentown Road (US 206 south). Only Route 533 has a ] at the circle, while Route 524 and the southern part of Route 206 have ]s some distance from the circle. To allow cars to move in a safe fashion, there are six yield-signed road segments allowing cars to get to Route 206 and from the highway to Route 533. Route 206, when the light allows, has no yield sign restrictions.<ref>Davis, Mike. , '']'', September 27, 2012. Accessed April 4, 2013.</ref><ref>Staff. , '']'', February 11, 2009.
