Road Warrior: State officials tout safety record during National Roundabout Week
While the Toledo area has had quite a bit of rain lately, the Ohio Department of Transportation says its new roundabout on Maumee-Western Road (U.S. 20A) at Strayer Road remains on target to open in about three weeks. Curbs and gutters were completed last week, and Kelsie Hoagland, a spokesman at ODOT’s Bowling Green district office, said traffic islands and the crushed stone base will be started this week. Once stone is finished next week, paving will start, and paving and stripe painting are expected to be completed the following week. Some lighting might not be installed until after the roundabout opens. That’s all subject to suitable weather, of course. While some drivers consider roundabouts confusing, mainly because yielding to traffic in the circle is baffling or they don’t trust other drivers to follow that principle, highway officials say their safety record is compelling. To mark National Roundabout Week last week, ODOT issued a report noting substantial declines in, if not outright elimination of, fatal and serious injury crashes where roundabouts have replaced traditional intersections in northwest Ohio. While they don’t eliminate crashes entirely, roundabouts’ collisions mainly are sideswipes and rear-enders that rarely cause serious injury. Both ODOT and the
