Roundabouts in the United States

Based on a comprehensive evaluation of roundabouts in the United States, this report presents methods of estimating the safety and operational impacts of roundabouts and updates design criteria for them. The report will be useful to geometric designers and traffic engineers who are considering improvements to an intersection.
