That is a traffic calming feature in itself as opposed to coming up to a stop sign. As I mentioned, there’s increased safety benefits with roundabouts versus stop control or signal control. Due to the low volume roadways that are here, traffic analysis and models have shown that the mini roundabout functions very well. It helps slow down traffic but keep it flowing as they traverse around / are directed around the central island.
The benefit is that it fits within primarily the existing footprint of a smaller intersection such as this so limits any adjacent property impacts to be minimal. But then also still maintains truck turning movements if a bigger truck does need to turn through the intersection since it would be a smaller intersection. They could traverse that center island. All those islands would be raised with truck apron curb. So, it’s mountable but not desirable for the passenger vehicle to come flying through here by any means.
