The Benefits and Efficiency of Roundabouts

The FHWA manages 4.2 million miles of public road in the US. Traffic fatalities per 100,000 people is 12, compared to Carmel's low rate of 2 per 100,000. Roundabouts are a major factor in reducing fatalities at intersections. Carmel serves as an example of the potential benefits of roundabouts. However, other factors such as driver behavior and education may also contribute to the city's safety. It's important to note that roundabouts may confuse some drivers.
