In this online engineering PDH course, some characteristics of successful roundabout projects are identified.
Roundabouts, which are simply modern versions of their primitive ancestors— traffic circles and rotaries—have safety, environmental, and cost-saving features superior to those of traditional intersections. But implementing roundabout projects sometimes proves difficult, and it would be useful to know what makes for a successful roundabout project. Of course, all successful construction projects share some obvious characteristics: designers, contractors, tradespeople, suppliers and a host of other people must execute their jobs well if success is to be achieved. But the present course focuses on identifying characteristics that are especially important for achieving successful roundabout projects. The process of identification will include a detailed discussion of the advantages roundabouts offer over traditional intersections and a review of roundabout projects that the U.S. Department of Transportation considered worthy of mention.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
