Abstract:In June of 2006, the City of Springfield, Oregon began construction of the first multi-lane urban roundabout in Oregon. The five-legged roundabout replaced an existing âTâ intersection that was controlled by a traffic light. A study was conducted to evaluate how drivers adjusted to the traffic change.
Roundabouts are known to be a valuable tool in effectively managing traffic flow in a safe and aesthetic manner. Although careful design is recognized as crucial to long-term efficient function, drivers can rapidly learn and adjust to situations that may initially cause confusion in navigating the roundabout.
