The above is for the Nov. 14, 2011 Wilshire Center Koreatown Neighborhood Council Meeting. I am research engineer of the Federal Highway Administration. We have an active contract to evluation the opertional and safety perfomance of mini-roundabouts. FYI, we developed mini-roundabout design guides after reviewing the design guides from European counties and conducting field observations of a few minis constructed in the USA. We are still recruiting mini-roundabout sites for evaluation. I would like to speak to someone in your agency who is familiar with the mini-roundabout implementation in your jurisdication. We can provide some technical support.Send me an email on who to contact, and I will follow up.Thanks, |
