Replacement of traditional intersection with roundabout with separated cycle path

Description: Installation of a roundabout with a separated cycle path in place of a traditional (signalized or unsignalized) intersection. Study roundabouts were split between priority to bicyclists and no priority to bicyclists in the cycle lanes.

Prior Condition:  Traditional signalized or unsignalized intersection

Category: Bicyclists

Study: Injury crashes with bicyclists at roundabouts: influence of some location characteristics and the design of cycle facilities, Daniels et al., 2009

Comments:The number of crashes in the after period were not reported in this study, however, they have been recorded as 300 to give 10 points as a beneift of doubt for one or more of the following: (1) number of miles/sites in the reference/treatment group, (2) number of crashes in the references/treatment group, (3) reporting AADTs for the aggregate dataset but not for the disaggragate dataset used for CMF development.
