I-295/NJ Route 29 Interchange Downstream Roundabout Center Island Traffic Flow: All vehicles move counter-clockwise around the circular center island. Yield at Entry: Motorists approaching a roundabout must yield to the left for any traffic already in the roundabout. Slow Down: Slower speeds are essential for ensuring safe and efficient travel movements. Bypass Lane: Cars turning right off the exit ramp do not enter the roundabout. Mountable Curb: Provides trucks additional raised space for turning. Splitter Island: Assists in controlling speeds and guides traffic into and out of the roundabout. Exiting: Exit lanes from the roundabout are to the right. N Entering, Circulating and Exiting the Roundabout • • Eliminate crash-prone T-intersections – The potential for right angle, left-turn and head-on crashes is greatly reduced. • No traffic signals or stop signs – There are no lights to beat; fewer stops and hard accelerations. Reduce crash severity – Low speeds (typically 15 to 20 MPH) allow drivers more time to react to conflicts, helping to improve safety and reducing the potential for fatalities and serious injuries. Single-Lane Roundabout Safety According to the Federal Highway Administration, roundabouts are a proven strategy for making intersections safer. Full Roundabout to open on or about November 2, 2018
