In the last 2
0 years roundabouts have been successfully added to hundreds of intersections in North Carolina to improve safety and mobility. However, one challenge has been the construction cost. “Modular” roundabouts offer a novel way to implement these intersection improvements with significantly lower costs, installation times, and impacts; the first one has now been installed in the western part of our state.
RTA Leadership Team member Bolton & Menk created a research report for RTA in fall 2022 that summarizes the benefits and opportunities of modular roundabouts. You can also download a presentation delivered in November 2022 at the NC Section ITE annual meeting.
