Abstract

Today, after many years of experience regarding roundabouts, there are still different ideas about the “ideal roundabout” with little consensus on the crucial effects of rules on how to negotiate intersections. The development of design rules and advice from an extensive body of research should allow civil and traffic engineers to produce the most effective forms of this junction type, even if for a variety of reasons this is not always carried out in practice.
