Research Synthesis: Design and Impacts of Rural Roundabouts

This project will synthesize previously conducted research and currently available design guidance to develop a report documenting key findings on design alternatives and the associated impacts for rural roundabouts. This project will also create, disseminate, and interpret results from a state-of-the-practice survey on how other state departments of transportation (DOTs) handle rural roundabout designs and implications to provide guidance to Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) on policy needs and best practices concerning this topic.
