Driving in Portugal a couple of weeks ago was the first time I had really experienced frequent roundabouts...
...and wow are they addicting!! So many times where you can just fly on through what would have been a slow stop-and-go at a stop sign or a several minute wait at a light.
I really hope Japan picks them up!

“You don’t need an expensive overpass; you don’t need a well-designed underpass. You just need to use a different type of curb.”

Some states in America will do anything to avoid roundabouts!

On paper, this looks like a disaster waiting to happen. 🤦♂️
I've avoided driving on Hwy 37 for years & I have little need to drive in the area of Hwy 37 & Fairgrounds Drive but I'll definitely avoid driving in this area at all costs from now on.

And then the koalas just vanished...
Speeding cars, road designs, roaming dogs and disease are the biggest koala killers.
Logging and sprawl should also be added to the list of extinction makers"A database tracking hospital admissions and deaths reveals the devastating impact cars, disease and dogs are having on the South East Queensland koala population"
.
"In the five years between 2009 and 2014, 52% of reported wild koala deaths were caused by car strike, 34% were from a chlamydia-related disease and 14% were because of a dog attack."This equates to 1,431 koala deaths from a car strike, 943 chlamydia-related deaths, and 395 dog attack deaths in just five years."
"Remember that these deaths were just the reported cases, so the real numbers would be significantly higher."

Never understood why Canadians & Americans seem to not like the roundabout. It keeps traffic flowing & statistically it causes less collisions.
I see a lot of local opposition whenever they're discussed.

I'm reviewing older studies and thought I'd share this one from Charlotte, NC.
Incorporating #CompleteStreets elements into road project adds a little to the costs, but overall fluctuations in construction costs dwarf those. https://doi.org/10.3141/2393-15

@capntransit @jerryschippa I was just going to bring that discussion over here.
There's been some research looking at traffic impact studies and trying to make them better. But researchers also warn they might not hold up in court much longer, given their shaky foundation. https://ssti.us/2023/04/03/researchers-warn-traffic-studies-could-face-more-legal-scrutiny/

Florida's #CompleteStreets guidance tells road designers how to translate context into target speeds, including transitions through rural town centers.
It also tells local governments what their built environment should look like.

Chicago offers lessons in automated traffic enforcement:
1. Fines and late fees can be a huge burden for some.
2. Disadvantaged communities may bear the brunt.
3. It can seem like a money grab (or actually be one).
4. Safe road design is also important.

When someone is hit by a car, says @kmralph on @freakonomics, we often ask: What were they wearing? Where were they crossing?
But if we focus on drivers, we see that while they hit 284 people in Edmonton one year, they hit 5,500 other stationary objects. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/why-is-the-u-s-so-good-at-killing-pedestrians/
