Roundabouts & Traffic Engineering (RTE)

RTE offers the experience and expertise needed for modern roundabout operation in the United States and worldwide, as well as an excellent knowledge and familiarity of field conditions with roundabouts and transportation issues. Our firm specializes in detailed modern roundabout design and planning, but also offers a wide range of services from roundabout feasibility studies to cumulative traffic impact studies. The goal of the firm is to perform high quality roundabout design and assistance, competent planning concepts, innovative traffic engineering solutions, and public educational services within the roundabout specialty and traffic engineering fields. Proper planning and engineering design as well as public involvement and communication of the roundabout option requires a detailed understanding of their operation, design, and implementation. However, as with any design concept, there are correct and incorrect ways in which roundabouts can be designed. In addition, appropriate striping, signing, lighting, and landscaping are principal keys to the success of a roundabout. RTE staff has the experience and knowledge regarding roundabout design and operations necessary to ensure that each facility operates safely and efficiently. RTE has developed multi-modal aspects within roundabouts to coexist safely. In the following example projects, make reference to the harmonious accessibility of the various transportation methods, connections, and carrier modes which increase each project’s sustainability and viable mobility choices. Each RTE project has reached the multi-modal goals for the jurisdiction’s selected modes of transportation. Please visit www.roundabouts.us for more information...
