The first roundabout was constructed in Southeast Michigan almost 20 years ago. They quickly gained popularity in this region for their ability to enhance safety at intersections and increase traffic flow during peak rush hours.
In many regions of the state and country, roundabouts are relatively new. How a person feels about a roundabout tends to impact their behavior when driving and portions of the general public still feel uncomfortable with roundabouts.
Mark McCulloch, Senior Project Manager for the Washtenaw County Road Commission, is on a countywide campaign to educate as many drivers as he can about roundabouts and how to use them and to make drivers feel safer when using roundabouts.
Join Mark for this informational presentation on both roundabouts and traffic signals
