MTJ Roundabout Design Courses

MTJ roundabout design courses teach participants how roundabouts assist in meeting the challenging, and often competing, needs within our built environment.
Our courses provide the design professional with the necessary knowledge, skills, and information to be able to adequately understand the design requirements and implications of roundabout applications.

Training Expertise

Mark Johnson has extensive experience providing training in roundabout design and implementation. When designing roundabouts, challenges include balancing overall operations and safety with business circulation and access needs, adjacent land-use, livability, and pedestrian safety objectives.

Mark’s design courses teach participants how roundabouts assist in meeting these challenging, and often competing, needs within our built environment. The courses provide the design professional with the necessary knowledge, skills, and information to be able to adequately understand the design requirements and implications of roundabout applications.

 

After MTJ Training, You’ll Be Able to:
1. Understand the benefits of roundabouts in the overall roadway/traffic planning process
2. Perform an operational/traffic analysis to determine necessary laneage and allow for selection of safe geometrics
3. Understand the correlation between operational analysis and geometric design
4. Determine how to avoid the mistakes of poorly planned, designed and/or constructed roundabouts
