Safety effects of roundabout conversions in Carmel, Indiana, the Roundabout City

Journal of Safety Research, 2022
Roundabouts are a proven safety countermeasure for intersection safety. This study examined the safety effects of roundabout conversions in Carmel, Indiana, also known as the "Roundabout City." Doing so is of particular interest because Carmel has a high density of roundabouts and its drivers understand their effectiveness and are familiar with ...

Safe roundabouts for cyclists

Accident Analysis and Prevention, 2017
May roundabouts be safer for cyclists than intersections? How are safe roundabouts designed? This paper tries to answer these questions on the basis of a before-after safety study of conversions of intersections to 255 single-lane roundabouts in Denmark. The before-after study accounts for long-term accident and injury trends and regression-to-the-mean

Ras on the Roundabout

Science, 2005
H-Ras, N-Ras, and K-Ras are homologous signaling molecules that are able to regulate distinct signaling pathways because they inhabit different compartments within the cell. In their Perspective, Meder and Simons discuss new work ( Rocks et al .) showing that N-Ras and H-Ras continuously cycle between the plasma membrane and Golgi ...

ROUNDABOUT Receptors

2013
Roundabout receptors (Robo) and their Slit ligands were discovered in the 1990s and found to be key players in axon guidance. Slit was initially described s an extracellular matrix protein that was expressed by midline glia in Drosophila. A few years later, it was shown that, in vertebrates and invertebrates, Slits acted as chemorepellents for axons ...

Driving around turbo-roundabouts vs. conventional roundabouts: Are there advantages regarding pollutant emissions?

open access: yesInternational Journal of Sustainable Transportation, 2016

Roundabouts

2018
Abstract Purpose – Measures aimed at reducing intersection crashes have high potential to be cost effective since intersections constitute only a small part of the overall highway system but intersection-related crashes constitute more than 50% of all crashes in urban areas and over 30% in rural areas.

Cyclists’ perception of risk in roundabouts

Accident Analysis & Prevention, 2008
Converting an intersection into a roundabout improves motor vehicle safety, but a similar safety effect is not found for car-bicycle collisions. Very little is known about the reasons behind these collisions. In this study a first step towards an understanding of the reasons behind these collisions is taken.
