Abstract

Roundabouts in North America have been increasing in importance in recent years, as they replace intersections for increased safety and efficiency. The reduction in speeds as well as in the number and severity of collisions while conserving efficient vehicle flow are all advantages that have justified the introduction of roundabouts into recent road designs in North America.

Résumé

Les carrefours giratoires prennent de plus en plus de place dans le réseau routier Nord-Américain, remplaçant les intersections à géométrie plus standard pour accroître la sécurité et l'efficacité. La réduction à la fois des vitesses, mais aussi du nombre et de la sévérité des collisions, tout en conservant un débit de véhicules efficace, sont tous des avantages qui ont justifié l'introduction des carrefours giratoires dans les réseaux routiers en Amérique du Nord.
