BACKGROUND
MTJ provided a peer review for this challenging high- speed rural application roundabout. The peer review involved review of initial concept designs by others, followed by development of corrective and optimized geometrics that reduced impacts, improved safety, and access to adjacent parcels.
-

SUMMARY
The peer review resulted in a context-appropriate design that minimized adverse impacts (ROW, environmental) and maximized community benefits while adhering to all roadway and roundabout-specific safety design principles. Geometric elements were designed to achieve accessibility objectives, while maintaining essential design elements that promote safety for all modes.
The resulting 95% horizontal geometric design recommendations are predicated on application of traffic/highway engineering and roundabout-specific design principles and criteria working together to optimize safety for this application.
Key project outcomes include:
Address driver expectancy for high-speed context
Minimize adverse impacts
Accommodate large trucks/freight & OSOW
Highlights
High-speed context
Large truck/freight/OSOW vehicle accommodations
Addressed driver expectancy for high-speed context
Flared two-lane entries
