Abstract:The goal of this project was to understand pedestrian issues with roundabouts, identify strategies to enhance the pedestrian experience and develop guidance for local agencies creating new roundabouts and evaluating existing ones. Researchers reviewed past studies and strategies to control pedestrian crossings in roundabouts and the most cost-effective treatments that enhance accessibility and improve driver-yielding behavior, including both signalized and nonsignalized crosswalk options. An online survey was distributed to city and county traffic engineers and the project’s Technical Advisory Panel, and follow-up emails or phone calls with 80 respondents led investigators to initially identify 15 locations with known or perceived issues and complaints.
