In the UK the minimum size for roundabouts with raised islands is 28 metre diameter ICD with a 4-metre diameter island. This threshold being driven primarily by vehicle geometry – which is globally relatively consistent – rather than driver behaviour, it is adopted in other jurisdictions too. Below this minimum size, the mini-roundabout ...
Diagram showing the path of a driver performing a U-turn.A vehicle with a smaller turning diameter will be able to perform a sharper U-turn. The turning radius (alternatively, turning diameter or turning circle) of a vehicle defines the minimum dimension (typically the radius or diameter) of available space required for that vehicle to make a semi-circular U-turn without skidding.
A bowtie can be adapted from an existing generic intersection that has two nearby roundabouts, so long as the roundabouts are on opposing sides of the intersection. The roundabout diameter, including the center island and circulating roadway, varies from 90 to 300 feet (27–91 m) depending on the speed of traffic on the approaches, the volume ...

To safely navigate a roundabout, yield to vehicles already in the circle, merge into the circle, do not stop in the roundabout and exit the circle. Signs will be in place to indicate the direction ...

General types of RIRO road configuration include limited access roads (divided highways, etc.) and roundabouts. To travel in the restricted direction, vehicles must first turn in the permitted direction, then reverse direction in a U-turn, by going around a roundabout or by going left around a block. RIRO is especially useful where left turns ...
According to GeDeros, the highway department’s intent is to “size the roundabout for immediate and near-future vehicle demand,” meaning that if a single-lane roundabout can efficiently carry ...
