	Roundabout - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Roundabouts are statistically safer than both traffic circles and traditional intersections, though they do not cope as well with the traffic on motorways or similar fast roads.
		Roundabouts are safer than both traffic circles and traditional intersections—having 40% fewer vehicle collisions, 80% fewer injuries and 90% fewer serious injuries and fatalities (according to a study of a sampling of roundabouts in the United States, compared with the intersections they replaced).
		The roundabout is situated on the N25 southern ring road dual carriageway, at the intersection with a dual-carriageway to the city centre, a road to Bishopstown, and the airport or Kinsale road.

	RoundaboutsUSA
		Roundabouts are used extensively throughout Europe, and in many other places around the world, to reduce accidents, traffic delays, fuel consumption, air pollution and construction costs, while increasing capacity and enhancing intersection beauty.
		A roundabout is a circular intersection similar to the traffic circle previously used in this country.
		This safety advantage has been attributed to the slower traffic speed at roundabouts and the division of the pedestrian crossing into two stages, from the near-side wheelchair ramp out to the splitter island, and then from the splitter island to the far-side wheelchair ramp.

	Washington and 26th Street Roundabout Project - City of Santa Monica
		Roundabouts are used in many parts of the world to move traffic safely and efficiently through busy intersections.
		Seen in more and more American communities, the roundabout is a circular intersection where vehicles entering the intersection yield to vehicles already in the intersection, keeping traffic from locking up and allowing free flow of movement.
		The roundabout was part of a $4.7 million pedestrian improvement project which included enhancements to Wilshire Boulevard, Santa Monica Boulevard, Broadway, Ocean Park Boulevard, 26th Street and Pearl/17th Streets.

	Roundabout intersection
		A roundabout, rotary, or gyratory circus is a type of road junction (or traffic calming device) at which traffic streams circularly around a central island after first yielding to the circulating traffic.
		Roundabouts are safer than both traffic circles and traditional intersections—having 40% fewer vehicle collisions, 80% fewer injuries and 90% fewer serious injuries and deaths (according to a study of a sampling of roundabouts in the United States, compared with the intersections they replaced).
		Mini roundabouts exist at smaller intersections to avoid the use of signals, stopsigns or the necessity to yield in favour of one road of traffic.

	RoundaboutsUSA
		It is especially useful when roundabouts are added to streets with some steep grades on the approaches as it reduces the potential for trucks to overturn on the low side of the circle.
		Since roundabout operation is not periodic, it is not possible to coordinate the operation of roundabouts on an arterial route to provide smooth progression for arterial flows.
		Roundabouts impose a new form of traffic control that is not familiar to motorists in the USA, but experience has found that drivers learn quickly how to drive in a roundabout.

		Roundabouts are designed to handle fire trucks, buses and various sizes of emergency vehicles, as well as truck and trailer combinations.
		A truck approaching a roundabout may straddle both lanes, similar to making a “wide right turn” at a standard intersection, provided the driver has determined it is safe to move into the adjacent lane and has signaled their intentions.
		If an emergency vehicle enters the roundabout with lights or sirens on while you are in the circle, continue to your intended exit and then pull over to the side of the road.

	Roundabout Safety Comes to America pg 1, Autumn 1995, Public Roads
		The physical configuration of a modern roundabout, with a deflected entry and yield-at-entry, forces a driver to reduce speed during the approach, entry, and movement within the roundabout.
		At this roundabout in England, in the year before it was converted to a roundabout, there were eight serious injury accidents and two fatalities; in the year after conversion, there were no serious injury accidents.
		In France, where roundabouts were installed mostly in urban areas and their suburbs including residential areas, the safety of roundabouts was generally superior to signalized intersections except where the roundabouts were large with wide entries or where there was extensive bicycle traffic.

		Mean reductions in crashes after converting to a modern roundabout from other traffic control devices have been similar in several other countries: Australia 41-61% for all crashes and 45-87% for injury crashes; France 57 to 78% for injury crashes; Germany 36% all crashes; Netherlands 47% all crashes; United Kingdom 25-39% injury crashes (p.

	Roundabout
		Compared to signals, roundabouts move traffic more efficiently, cut down on pollution, reduce the number and severity of accidents, last longer, cost less, and do not rely on electricity for operation.
		The accidents in a roundabout tend to be 'fender benders' compared to the much more severe 'T-bone' accident typical of a signalized intersection.
		This apron (the white, mountable curb on the outside of the roundabout) allows the back wheels of large vehicles to track over the roundabout- alleviating the need to create a larger (than necessary) roundabout for the occasional big truck.

		As the leader of a primitive fishing village, you are able to send out the townspeople to catch enough fish, with their bare hands, to ensure the village's survival for one day.
		But because production is roundabout, he wrote, some of the product that Marx attributed to workers must go to finance this roundaboutness, i.e., must go to capital.

		The new roundabout (see picture) was the work of the Road Research Laboratory (RRL) and their solution was brilliantly simple.
		They called it a multi-mini roundabout, but as far as Swindon folk was concerned, they now had their very own Magic Roundabout.
		And magic it certainly is. Though it may confuse or amuse new visitors and baffle American tourists, the average Swindonian finds that his or her passage through one of the town's busiest junctions is actually quite fluid, even at peak times.

	How to deal with Roundabouts
		On approaching a roundabout take notice and act on all the information available to you, including traffic signs, traffic lights and lane markings which direct you into the correct lane.
		Watch out for vehicles already on the roundabout; be aware they may not be signalling correctly or at all.
		Approach these in the same way as a normal roundabout, but remember there is less space and time to signal and manoeuvre.

		Traffic can usually travel in either direction around the whole junction.
