Abstract:

The article presents an interesting result of research aimed on traffic safety of roundabouts. The relationship between the inscribed circle diameter of roundabout and the crash rate in the roundabout is presented. There is a certain optimal size of roundabout inscribed circle diameter identified for safe operation.
