Abstract:After experiencing the safety and operational benefits of roundabouts in their city, Austin Transportation Department (ATD) staff decided to undertake an effort to promote their wider use in Texas. The ATD hosted an informational briefing in an effort to encourage other agencies in the State to begin using roundabouts—a proven strategy for improving safety, operations, and quality of life in local communities. They invited people from fellow public agencies, industry groups, and other stakeholders to learn about Austin’s positive experiences with roundabouts. In addition to describing the general benefits of roundabouts at the briefing, they advised attendees how to explore the use of roundabouts in their own cities.
