ST. PAUL (KFGO) - The Minnesota Department of Transportation has released a study that shows roundabouts are reducing serious injuries and saving lives.
There are nearly 200 roundabouts in the state. The study focused on the safety performance of roundabouts by comparing the before-and after-construction crash rates.
The study concluded that there hasn't been a multi-vehicle fatality in a roundabout in Minnesota. There was also an 86% reduction in the fatal crash rate at intersections where roundabouts were installed and an 83% reduction in the serious injury crash rate.
