Study Title: Evaluation of Roundabouts on High-Speed Roadways
Authors: Bagley, D.L.
Publication Date:JAN, 2020
Abstract: All of the roundabouts included in this study effort were located in rural areas and were converted from minor road stop-controlled intersections. Additionally, all of the roundabouts in the study were single lane and had at least one leg with an approaching speed limit of 55 mph. The included roundabouts had inscribed circle diameters between 100 and 160 feet and had an average major road volume of 6,000 AADT and an average minor road volume of 3,600 AADT. The Empirical Bayes methodology was utilized to provide a more robust statistical analysis of the data. The purpose of the evaluation is to measure changes in total intersection crashes, fatal and injury crashes, and frontal impact crashes after intersections were converted to roundabouts.
