As interest in modern roundabouts has
increased in the U.S. and
transportation officials have
considered their implementation,
misperceptions have often
arisen. Often during the course
of studies and designs involving
roundabouts transportation officials
and consultants encounter many
fallacies which come up with
regularity. These opinions are
typically voiced by members of the
public and elected officials,
etc. who are unfamiliar with
this of intersection control.
Sometimes everything you read or hear
is not necessarily true. The
following documents (Courtesy of APA,
DLZ Michigan, Inc. and Washtenaw
County Road Commission) are intended
to help educate readers on the facts
of modern roundabouts.
