“At the roundabout approach, the curvature ahead visually alerts drivers to slow down in ways that are unlike traditional intersection approaches,” said FDOT’s Kris Carson.Īnd while it may take some getting used to, it's likely we'll see more and more of these approaches and circles incorporated into intersections with high crash counts.īecause the approach curve slows traffic before it enters the circle, fatal crashes are reduced by up to 90 percent bodily injury crashes by 76 percent and pedestrian crashes are reduced by 30 to 40 percent. Real Time Traffic Expert Chuck Henson checked with the Florida Department of Transportation to see if there were any issues drivers should be aware of navigating this circle once it's complete. Her concern is the design versus the amount of traffic.Īs you come down the bridge there is an s-curve prior to the circle, then another s-curve when you exit the circle to the south. The location sees a lot of traffic even on the most normal of days. "I tell my kids this is where I need to learn and practice my coping skills,” she said. One of the upset drivers is Liz Delgado, who teaches anger management and coping skills to her students.
