Recognizing a strong interest in roundabouts throughout Florida, the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) launched a research project to develop guidelines to assist operating agencies with decisions regarding roundabout design and implementation. The project was carried out by the University of Florida Transportation Research Center under the supervision of a Technical Advisory Committee appointed by FDOT. This report summarizes the products and accomplishments of the project. The Florida Roundabout Guide (FRG) was the principal product of this project. The primary purpose of the FRG is to assist district offices and local agencies in identifying appropriate roundabout sites and determining their preferred configuration and operational features. The contents reflect recommended practices from countries where roundabouts are popular, combined with the results of research on intersections performance modeling and the consensus of the Technical Advisory Committee on the optimal deployment of roundabouts in Florida. The FRG has been approved by FDOT and was printed in March, 1996.
