Modern Roundabout Design (2 credit hours/2 HSW Hours)
The modern roundabout is a common intersection application which is becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. As with any intersection, its selection and design requires balancing competing objectives (economics, safety, environmental concerns, operation, accessibility, land usage, aesthetics, etc.). This 2 hour course is a summary of the geometric design process for today's roundabouts. Participants will be given an in-depth look at the principles and potential trade-offs to be considered when selecting and designing roundabouts. It is important to understand these design principles as well as the potential trade-offs that may be encountered. By combining this course material with work experience and engineering judgment, the participant may produce plans beneficial to the traveling public.
