1. New Jersey
Modern Roundabout
Opportunity State !

2. Implementation Challenges
~ NJ = “home” of the traffic circle
~ Convincing motorists modern roundabouts are not = circle

3. Developing State-specific guidelines related to roundabouts?
~ Nope
Future of roundabouts in New Jersey
~ 2 in design, RT 29 & Scudder Falls Bridge.
Enforcement and Education Interaction
~ Very little to date.

4. Modified Circles with some Roundabout features:
~ RT 28 Westfield Circle
~ RT 206 Red Lion Circle
New Jersey Roundabout Experience
No “true” modern roundabouts on state highways. We have a modified a couple of circles to give them some of the attributes of a modern roundabout.
RT 28 Westfield Circle – Yield at Entry & Approaches have Deflection
RT 70 Asbury Circle - Yield at Entry & Approaches have Deflection, Did not reduce the diameter of the central island resulting in low speed entering traffic having to merge with high speed circulating traffic

5. Several on non-state roads
Allwood Road Circle
largest traffic volume
Denow Road in Hopewell
We did not have a count at the Circle; we had a count about a mile away on CR 602 of daily traffic at (2005).  Very close to this location is Route 3; the counting station there has the volume on Rt. 3 at 124,050 (2007).  All in all, I believe the volume on the circle is significant.
