The objectives of this project are to study selected roundabouts and traffic circles in Districts IV and VI, to evaluate their effectiveness, and to identify hazardous conditions and safety features for the circulation of bicyclists within these facilities. The literature review presented in Chapter 2 includes European and Australian documents, as well as information from several other roundabout guides that have been considered for the preparation of guides for the design and/or justification of roundabouts in the United States. Chapter 3 describes the data collection procedures and the equipment used. Collected traffic data at selected sites in South Florida (Districts IV and VI) are presented in Chapter 4. This data includes preliminary condition diagrams, volume counts, speed and vehicle classification studies and data analysis using the SIDRA software. Chapter 5 presents the process of developing a computer simulation model to determine the effects of pedestrians and bicycles at roundabouts in South Florida. A summary of findings from this study is presented in Chapter 6.
