About the Webinar


Roundabouts are a common form of intersection control used throughout the world and are increasingly used in the United States. The information supplied in TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 672 builds extensively on the first edition published in 2000 by the Federal Highway Administration and is based on established and emerging U.S. practices and recent research. The guide continues to be comprehensive in recognition of the diverse needs of transportation professionals and the public for introductory material, planning and design guidance, operational and safety performance evaluation techniques, construction and maintenance information, and the wide range of potential applications of roundabouts. The objective of this webinar is for participants to gain an understanding of the contents of the second edition of the roundabouts guide. Presenters will focus on changes that have been made in the new guide from the first edition.
