Research Synthesis: Design and Impacts of Rural Roundabouts

Summary:

This Transportation Research Synthesis (TRS) investigates design considerations for roundabouts in rural settings. Design treatments and facilities for non-motorized users are specifically highlighted. This research leverages national and state-level design guidelines and practitioner input to summarize best practices from other states concerning rural roundabout designs and how these findings can align with Minnesota’s needs.

Final Deliverables:
