Good reminders regarding roundabout safety.

🚗🚙🔘 Roundabout Safety 🔘🚙🚗
According to the Florida Department of Transportation, 44% of all traffic fatalities in Florida occur at conventional intersections. Roundabouts reduce fatal and severe injuries by 82% at intersections controlled by stop signs and 78% at intersections controlled by signal lights.

➡ Roundabout Advantages ⬅
🚗 30-50% increase in traffic capacity
💲 Cost saving - no equipment to install, maintain or power
👍 Advantageous to novice and older drivers

➡ Remember ⬅
✅ Watch for bicycles and pedestrians entering and exiting the roundabout, they have the right-of-way
✅ Traffic already in the circle has the right-of-way
✅ Enter the roundabout traveling to the right when safe to do so
