Abstract:

Maneuvering through intersections can be challenging for trucks, and these challenges become even more pronounced when the load is exceptionally large or heavy. Oversize/ overweight (OSOW) vehicles are particularly sensitive to how intersections are designed. The geometry of roundabouts must be carefully considered to achieve a good balance between safety for all users and the basic ability of freight to flow through the intersection. Working together, road agencies, freight company owners, and truck operators can improve both the design of roundabouts and the ability of drivers to navigate them.
