Roundabout Types

The document discusses different types of circular intersections and defines the modern roundabout. It states that roundabouts are often confused with other circular designs like rotaries, traffic circles, and neighborhood traffic circles. The key features that distinguish the modern roundabout are described, including how vehicles travel counterclockwise, enter and exit from the same point, and must yield to traffic already in the circle.
