UDOT Roundabouts

The UDOT Traffic & Safety division is thrilled to release the long-awaited video on Roundabouts. The idea of this video is to showcase the benefits of roundabouts (especially the safety benefit) to a wide variety of audiences, from internal UDOT to local cities and municipalities to the public at-large or other stakeholders.
Roundabouts are not the perfect solution at all intersections. In fact, they're probably not the right solution at the majority of intersections. However, in the right locations, roundabouts can be a very safe and efficient way to move not just motor vehicles, but pedestrians and bicyclists too.

I never realized how complex and interesting round abouts are.

[@heno2127]

I learned a lot watching this video.

[@emersoncarnavale5024]

This video made roundabouts a lot easier to understand how to drive.

[@joycebleazard6274]

Is there another video that teaches how to use it and how to signal? And multiple lanes?

[@caity.bug4]

Roundabouts really save lives

[@caity.bug4]

It’s satisfying seeing it all work perfectly

[@emersoncarnavale5024]

from 32 down to 8! thats a crazy change, it shows how much safer roundabouts are!

[@heno2127]

That was pretty cool to learn about how round abouts can decrease crash rates.

1. roundabouts are designed to make traffic safer and more cohesive
2. roundabouts are not your enemy
3. be courteous and look out for pedestrians

Please do a video on how to drive in a single and double lane roundabout. Most people don’t know how to drive on them

This is a great video - very well done!

[@emersoncarnavale5024]

its crazy that roundabouts are only 30 years old!

[@chickennoodlesoup347]

Great work like always, UDOT! Love what you do!

[@joethepro1089]

Slick, succinct, informative, easy to watch. Well done.

Make more of them. The off ramps around the new Davis corridor should be round abouts. None of these two way or one way stops. Roundabout would be so much more efficient. Look at 400 N Farmington. It gets backed up during busy times at the one-way stop.

great video

[@caity.bug4]

Roundabouts are much easier to understand now

[@GradyRobinson-b5k]

i learned about round abouts

[@duanehansen9022]

Look at Carmel Indiana. They have replaced almost all the traffic lights with roundabouts.

[@PresidentCamacho24]

I have lived in SL County my entire life. I remember the first roundabout I encountered and thought it was frou-frou and pretentious but they grew on me. I hope we see more soon.

[@eastondavis9780]

I understand roundabouts better after watching this video

[@GradyRobinson-b5k]

[@eastondavis9780]
