If you’ve followed my work, you know I’m passionate about multimodal solutions that prioritize people over cars. Amazingly, modern roundabouts accommodate both. They’re a proven safety countermeasure backed by FHWA and recent data showing 75–82% reductions in severe crashes. They calm speeds, cut conflict points, accommodate bikes and pedestrians, and often outperforms signals in real-world urban settings. Is there anything they don’t do?
I created a 20-page guide to brief planners, elected officials, and community members on roundabouts and help them advocate for roundabouts in their communities. In this guide, you’ll get:
Key design principles
Multimodal best practices (safe pedestrian crossings, bike provisions, and accessibility for all users)
Policy considerations (when to push for roundabouts in planning, retrofitting tips, and common design pitfalls to avoid)
