Modern Roundabouts

Mr. Peter Doctors, Ourston & Doctors,
(805) 563-1400
Santa Barbara, Ca discussed the topic of  Modern Roundabouts. According to Mr. Doctors, the modern roundabout is a form of intersection that provides both high capacity and safety, while not requiring traffic signals. The modern roundabout is similar to America's old traffic circles, but its geometry and traffic regulation are considerably different. Modern roundabouts have been used for four decades in the United Kingdom and more recently in other countries. A dozen or so modern roundabouts have been built in the United States in the last six years and many more are planned for construction.  http://www.ite-hawaii.org/meeting-hg96.php
