Michigan drivers loathe roundabouts and new data shows which 10 have the most crashes, though modern designs reduce serious injuries. Follow navigation rules to stay safe.
Driving in a roundabout in Michigan can be intimidating for some people and may even cause some frustration. Especially when there's more than one lane involved. And while there are benefits to roundabouts vs. traffic light intersection, there seem to be more crashes in roundabouts compared to traditional intersections.
Now, while many people consider the yielding right of way of roundabouts to be more dangerous, it actually keeps the flow of traffic moving at a steady and safer pace. With more cities adding this traffic control system, which Southwest Michigan areas does everyone think is next?
Two new roundabout are proposed to be built for Parkview Avenue at 11th and at 12th Streets will make driving seem more like a video game than a plain old drive from point A to Point B.
