Abstract:

Roundabout intersections are purposely designed to improve safety and efficiency through a combination of geometry and traffic control that results in reduced speeds and minimal delay. However, when the geometry does not adequately accommodate the needs of trucks and freight, unexpected complications can result. Working together, road agencies, freight company owners, and truck operators can strategically improve both the design of roundabouts and the ability of drivers to navigate them.
