• Abstract:
  Roundabouts, once rare in the U.S., are ; being installed more often to address access ; management and safety concerns. Access ; management is how planners look at means of ; entering and exiting a roadway, for example, how ; to place features such as intersections, driveways, ; and medians, in order to ensure safe and efficient ; operation of the roadway. Roundabouts offer ; planners new options, but existing research ; provides little guidance on evaluating the use of ; roundabouts as a form of access management. ; In the project, University of Florida researchers ; studied roundabouts in relation to access ; management. The project had three primary ; components: review and assessment of federal ; and state guidance related to roundabouts and ; access management; safety analysis of all 283 ; roundabouts in Florida; and an operational ; analysis of selected roundabouts.
