摘要: The guidance supplied in this document is based on established international and U.S. practices supplemented by recent research. guide comprehensive recognition of the diverse needs transportation professionals public for introductory material through design detail, as well wide range potential applications roundabout intersections. following topics are addressed: definition a what distinguishes roundabouts from traffic circles; acceptance legal issues associated with roundabouts; consideration all user modes, including heavy vehicles, buses, transit, bicycles, pedestrians; methodology identifying appropriate sites conditions which offer optimal performance; methodologies estimating capacity, delays, queues reference to "Highway Capacity Manual"; principles safety geometric design, applicable national standards such AASHTO "Policy Geometric Design Highways Streets"; guidelines control features signing pavement markings, "Manual Uniform Traffic Control Devices"; illumination; landscaping.
