Turbo Roundabouts: Design, Performance, and U.S. Opportunities

This article describes the design, performance, and enhanced safety opportunities of turbo roundabouts. The turbo roundabout is a roundabout alternative that eliminates conflict points that are associated with lower-severity crashes that sometimes occur in modern 2x2 multilane roundabouts, roundabouts characterized by two entry lanes approaching two circulating lanes. The turbo roundabout was first designed and implemented in the Netherlands in the 1990s. Now there are more than 500 turbo roundabouts worldwide, with more than 370 in the Netherlands
