The 6111 Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) has launched a video to assist drivers in navigating roundabouts in the state. The video instructs viewers how to use both single and multi-lane roundabouts whether in a vehicle, on a bicycle or on foot.
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) encourages implementing roundabouts as they have been proven to significantly improve safety and reduce traffic delays over traditional stop- or signal-controlled intersections. In conjunction with the FHWA's recommendation, the Pennsylvania State Transportation Innovation Council (STIC) has prioritised implementing roundabouts as alternatives to traditional intersections when possible.
"Data shows that modern-day roundabouts reduce crash severity and injuries while improving traffic flow," said PennDOT secretary Leslie S. Richards. "This video illustrates how to navigate these intersections regardless of how you travel."
