Abstract:

In the late 1990s, the City of Carmel, Indiana, began installing roundabouts within its jurisdiction, where they soon became a common type of intersection design. This change in intersection design policy stemmed from an influential roundabout champion—the City's mayor. Mayor Jim Brainard took office in 1996 and subsequently pushed for the installation of a roundabout at an intersection that, at that time, was in the project development phase for major rehabilitation. His interest in roundabouts stemmed from his visits to Europe, where modern roundabouts are common, and a ski trip to Vail, Colorado, where the city had installed a roundabout to reduce recurring congestion experienced during peak skiing season. Since the mayor's first push in 1996, the City of Carmel has constructed over 60 roundabouts with the support of the public.
