Motorists in a roundabout only need to look to the left for oncoming traffic. Research has shown that roundabouts offer a significant reduction in injury crashes compared to traffic signals due to the slower speeds of roundabouts. The modern roundabout has been successfully implemented at more than 100 locations throughout the United States and extensively in Europe with dramatic improvements in safety and traffic operations. After being installed, the roundabouts have received almost universal praise from the people that use them. Their success has resulted in requests from neighboring communities for their own roundabouts.
