Thank you

The live event has ended. Recording is now available to stream. 

This webinar is led by ITE Roundabout Committee.

Webinar Description:
In celebration of National Roundabouts Week, this webinar provided a unique opportunity for participants to learn about the national design guidance and education of drivers for roundabouts and design lessons learned for roundabout projects from Alaska, Georgia and Connecticut.

The webinar began with a summary of the design guidance driver education research conducted by the presenters. The project presentations deatialed unique aspects of roundabout studies and design from Alaska with an interchange roundabout study and design. In Georgia, a roundabout with a railroad crossing through it will be presented. The final presentation will detail lessons learned on a cost-efficient roundabout design and construction for an urban compact roundabout in CT. Each of the speakers are experienced in design and construction of roundabouts.

Learning Objectives:

• Recall the status of the Roundabout Committee and projects being undertaken as well as design projects from rural Alaska, to Georgia roundabout with a railroad crossing, to urban center roundabout in CT.
• Recognize current design guidance across the country as well as the education of new drivers.
• Describe the design aspects of an expressway interchange with roundabouts in Alaska and the issues with evaluating and designing for Alaska conditions.
• Explain the critical design considerations with roundabouts and railroad crossing for the Georgia project.
• Calculate a cost effective roundabout design and construction for an urban downtown roundabout in CT. Lessons learned from efficient design and construction methods will be detailed, such as minimizing grading and drainage improvements and reuse of existing materials.
