ROUNDABOUT 101

Picture
Roundabouts are designed to improve safety while keeping traffic moving. Unlike traditional intersections with stop signs or traffic signals, vehicles travel in one direction around a center island and yield to traffic already in the roundabout. This design reduces severe crashes, minimizes delays, and creates a smoother driving experience. Modern roundabouts are recognized by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) as a Proven Safety Countermeasure.

As part of this project, three modern roundabouts are being constructed at the following locations along Route 47:
  • Lake Avenue
  • McConnell Road
  • Irving Avenue/Judd Street

​Watch the video below from the Federal Highway Administration to learn everything you need to know about utilizing these intersections.
