1 High Flow Multi-Lane Roundabouts - Design Optimization - Project Examples Mark T. Johnson, P.E. MTJ Roundabout Engineering - City of Loveland CO Consulting Firm Key Contributor to WIDOT Roundabout Design Program Co-Author of FHWA 2010 Roundabout Guide - FHWA Authorized P2P Reviewer
2 Design Optimization Based on Paper by MTJ for 2017 TRB Annual Meeting Paper Link Here:
3 Roundabout Design For Safety and Operations - INTRO 1. What is Optimization? a) Understanding of Traffic planning/operational & Design components for safe roundabouts within our transportation system. 2. Why is Optimization Important? a) Ensure maximum safety and ease of use and comfort for all modes b) Incorporate benefits into our traffic planning/design processes c) Ensure public acceptance 3. How is Optimization Achieved? a) Review in-service design reviews of poorly performing roundabouts Lessons Learned b) Examples illustrating Design optimization process c) Best Practices for Signing and Markings
4 Roundabout Design For Safety and Operations - INTRO 1. Why is Optimization Important? a) Ensure maximum safety and ease of use and comfort for all modes b) What is a safe roundabout? c) How may PDO s are considered too many? 186 PDO crashes in first year of operation ~180 collisions / year opened in August They re going to use us for experiments ~100 PDO collisions / year opened in August ~100 PDO collisions THIS ROUNDABOUT MUST BE FIXED
5 Roundabout Design For Safety and Operations Average < 5 crashes/yr 10 years of data, ~2,500 vph Average < 20 crashes/yr 1.5 yrs of data, ~3,000 vph Average < 7 crashes/yr 8 yrs of data, ~2,800 vph
6 Roundabout Design For Safety and Operations - Interchanges Flared Two Lane Entries: < 5 per year (over 2 year period). Three Lane Entry Total Ave crashes per year for all crashes at roundabout ~ 15 crashes per year (over 5 year period).
7 Roundabout Design For Safety and Operations 2. Why is Optimization Important High Volume multi-lanners: Significant benefits with high flow multi-lane implementations (Safety, Less Roadway widths, Complete Streets, less costs Infrastructure) Complexity: More Traffic = More lanes = More Conflict Points Design Aims Compete more sharply Trucks, pedestrians/bikes, Achieving Safety Criteria is more challenging (speed control vs entry angle)
8 Roundabout Design For Safety and Operations - Why 1. Why design Optimization? Composition of Design Elements Often, the poor performance of a roundabout is erroneously attributed to individual design components; its too big or it too small However, poor safety performance is often a function of the arrangement and relationship of multiple design elements: Geometric, Signing and Markings. Composition of design elements. Capacity / Operational Analysis It s All Related Geometrics Safety Don Quixote by Pablo Picasso
9 Roundabout Design Principles NCHRP 672 Rules only applicable in limited situations Design Principles Always Applicable
10 Roundabout Design - Principles Principles Roundabout Specific Design Principles Safety Speed Control R1 (UK METHOD) Sight Distance (discusses preclusion) Entry Angles (Phi, view angles) Angle between legs (90 best) Natural Paths Driver Expectancy Context
11 Roundabout Design - Principles Geometric Design Checks - FHWA 6.56 DESIGN PRINCIPLES - UK DESIGN PRINCIPLES Design Checks View Angles to Left Preferred maximum Entry Angles UK Phi minimum = 20 (Phi = measured entry angle 2)
12 Roundabout Design - Principles Roundabout Design Principles There are many projects being implemented that are not following these fundamental principles basics (blocking and tackling)
13 Roundabout Design Entry and View Angles Achieving Correct Composition of Competing Objectives Severe Neck turning Merging Condition High Speeds Confuses Priority Message Circulating Vehicles Out of View
14 Signing and Pavement Marking Principles
15 Roundabout Design- Information Processing 1. Optimize Signing and Pavement markings to provide clear and easily understood information 2. Line types, weight, arrangement important 3. Minimize detection, reading and processing time 4. Maximize comprehension
16 Roundabout Design - Information Processing Must Consider: Context, System considerations Too little information not good. Too much equally not good. Must be correct for flows, context, system Remove Clutter Provide information to drivers when they need it
17 Roundabout Design - Information Processing Play Video
18 In-Service Design Review Example #1
19 Roundabout Design - Example #2 - Safety Clear Pattern of Crashes /Driver Confusion Attributed to Design Principles FHWA P2P Program: Data Courtesy of SCDOT
20 Roundabout Design - Example #2 - Safety Driver Messaging via Pavement Markings Existing Confusing Messaging Clarity in Priority Messaging Before After 80% Crash Reduction
21 Roundabout Design - Example #2 - Safety Driver Messaging via Pavement Markings Existing Confusing Messaging Entry Alignment and Natural Path Principles Before Before Entry Alignment and Natural Path Principles 80% Crash Reduction AFTER
22 In-Service Design Review Example #2
23 Roundabout Design - Example #3 - Safety Solid then skip circulating markings
24 Roundabout Design - Example #3 - Safety New Signing and Marking Consistent circulating markings 80% Reduction of Wrong Movements from outside Lane
25 In-Service Design Review Example #3
26 Roundabout Design - Example #4 - Safety 3,400 vph 112 Crashes in first year of operation 3,400 vph
27 Roundabout Design - Example #4 - Safety 34 Crashes After (~80% reduction)

30 Optimization IH94 Cottage Grove WI (Overlay)
31 Roundabout Design - Optimization - Single Lane / Multi-Lane - Flare and Parallel Entries - Hybrid / Turbo /Spiral - Bypass Lanes: Yield and Free - High Speed Approaches - Business Access - Pedestrians and Bicycle accommodations Two Lanes Circulating Single Lane Entry Two Lane Exit Flared Entry Single Lane Circulating Yield RT Bypass Lane Merge RT Bypass Lane Two Lane Entry Yield RT Bypass Lane Two Lane Entry Flared Entry Summary of Optimization Ensure Optimal safety and ease of use and comfort for all modes Incorporate operational benefits into our traffic planning/design processe Ensure public acceptance lets not sink the ship that has taken 25 years to build!
