Traditional intersections with traffic signals create multiple potential conflict points where vehicles can collide (e.g., left turns across oncoming traffic). Roundabouts reduce these conflict points by eliminating left turns across traffic and replacing them with a continuous flow of traffic in a circular direction. This reduces the likelihood of head-on and T-bone crashes, which are often severe. Furthermore, roundabouts require drivers to slow down as they approach and navigate the intersection, which can be particularly beneficial for motorcyclists, giving them more time to react to potential hazards.
