SUMMARY: Many cities in America are considering replacing their stoplight intersections with roundabouts in order to improve traffic flow and safety. Oxford, Mississippi has become known as the roundabout capital of the South, with 21 new roundabouts built in the past six years. Studies show that roundabouts can reduce serious injuries and fatal crashes by 90% due to the forced reduction in speed and fewer conflict points for vehicles. While some residents appreciate the time-saving benefits, others are not fans. However, roundabouts are becoming more common across the country, with other cities such as Bend, Oregon and Carmel, Indiana embracing them as well.
