General Road and Highway Discussion
(09-14-2015, 03:20 PM)Markster Wrote: I also agree that roundabouts are not inherently cyclonic pedestrian crushers. It's an issue of design speeds, and drivers that are not trained to yield at pedestrian crosswalks (because there are so few out there that are not associated with stop signs or traffic lights).

I don't want to be one of those people that something can't work here because it doesn't exist here, so we're not used to it, but that's a big deal if motorists do not understand right-of-way at roundabouts. We could be talking about a very long time before that is rectified. I'm not sure the benefits of roundabouts would outweigh the costs to walkability over that time period. I also have seen little about how roundabouts can be made accessible to the visually-impaired, for instance: if there is no signal at them, and they are expected to wait for a gap or a yield from motorists, I'm not sure how that works.
