5 ROUNDABOUTS FOUND IN NATIONS WITH HIGHER SAFETY LED BY THE UK WHERE THE MODERN ROUNDABOUT EMERGED IN 1966, SEVEN OF THE EIGHT NATIONS WITH LOWER FATALITY RATES ON THEIR HIGHWAYS THAN THE US HEAVILY INVESTED IN ROUNDABOUTS
6 INTERSECTION CRASHES 23 PERCENT OF ALL FATALITIES (2000) 8,500 FATALITIES (2000) 1 MILLION INJURY CRASHES, 48 PERCENT OF ALL INJURY CRASHES 50 PERCENT OF ALL PEDESTRIAN FATALITIES
7 FATAL CRASHES BY INTERSECTION TYPE 57 PERCENT SIGNALIZED ABOUT 5,000 FATALATIES (ABOUT 900 RED LIGHT RUNNING) 29 PERCENT RURAL UNSIGNALIZED ABOUT 2,500 FATALITIES 14 PERCENT URBAN UNSIGNALIZED ABOUT 1,200 FATALITIES
8 ABOUT 43,220 PEOPLE DIED IN TRAFFIC ACCIDENTS IN 2003, UP ABOUT 1% FROM 2002 AND THE FIFTH CONSECUTIVE ANNUAL INCREASE WALL STREET JOURNAL APRIL 29, 2004
9 INSURANCE INSTITUTE FOR HIGHWAY SAFETY 2001 ROUNDABOUT STUDY-- REDUCTIONS IN THE NUMBERS OF FATAL AND INCAPACITATING INJURY CRASHES WERE ESTIMATED TO BE ABOUT 90 PERCENT
10 BASED ON THE RESEARCH TO DATE, IT IS FAIR TO ESTIMATE THAT THE EXPANSION OF ROUNDABOUTS IN THE US COULD REDUCE OVERALL US HIGHWAY FATALITIES BY UP TO 10 PERCENT OR ABOUT 4,000 FATALITIES PER YEAR

12 MONTPELIER KECK CIRCLE FIRST NORTHEASTERN ROUNDABOUT, 1995; 19 TH IN US 106 (AVERAGE) FEET IN DIAMETER, THREE LEGS, ON VT 12 10,900 CARS ENTERING DAILY, 360 PEDESTRIANS
13 MONTPELIER KECK CIRCLE PRIOR INJURIES PER MILLION ENTERING VEHICLES: 0.17 AFTER ROUNDABOUT: 0.06 (0 DISABLING INJURIES) PERCENT CHANGE: -65%
14 MONTPELIER KECK CIRCLE As a stop control intersection crashes included a bicyclist, sideswipe, and knocked over utility poll. Roundabout crashes: (1) a pedestrian hit on entry crosswalk (bumps and bruises); (2) a property only damage crash (a rear end of a car waiting to enter); and (3) a car rear-ended another in the travel way which was stopped at an exit to permit a pedestrian to cross driver complained of headache and sore back. No disabling injuries.
15 MANCHESTER GRAND UNION FOUR LEG ROUNDABOUT, ESTIMATED ENTERING TRAFFIC DAILY, 10,050, BUILT IN 1997, 90 FEET IN DIAMETER, VT 7A INJURY RATE PER MILLION ENTERING VEHICLES: 0.164

17 MANCHESTER GRAND UNION One reportable crash in six years and six months. Soon after opening vehicle drove straight into the center island triggering air bags and causing bumps and bruises to driver and passenger. (Approach signing was then improved and a feature added to the center island.)
18 THE ROUNDABOUT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT HIGHWAY DEVELOPMENT IN THE UNITED STATES SINCE THE INTERSTATE ED WADDELL, P.E. PLANNING DIVISION MICHIGAN DOT
19 FIRST U.S. ROUNDABOUT LEGISLATION VERMONT 2002: Legislative Support for Roundabouts: The Legislature finds that installation of roundabouts at dangerous intersections cost efficient, and has enhanced the safe operation of vehicles The Agency of Transportation is directed to pursue the opportunities for construction of roundabouts at intersections determined to pose safety hazards for motorists.
