NEntering, Circulating andExiting the Roundabout
• • Eliminate crash-prone T-intersections –The potential for right angle, left-turn and head-on crashes is greatly reduced.
• No tra�c signals or stop signs –There are no lights to beat; fewer stops and hard accelerations.
Reduce crash severity –Low speeds (typically 15 to 20 MPH) allow drivers more time to react to conflicts, helping to improve safety and reducing the potential for fatalities and serious injuries.
Single-Lane Roundabout SafetyAccording to the Federal Highway Administration, roundabouts are a proven strategy for making intersections safer.
