Modular roundabouts are prefabricated units made from recycled material. They are quick and simple to install and can be anchored down into existing pavement. They are considered a low-cost alternative when compared to the costs and impacts of traditional roundabout construction. When properly designed for the right location, they provide the same safety and operational benefits of traditional roundabouts with a fraction of the cost and time.
JMT provided the engineering support for the first six roundabouts for VDOT’s Richmond District in 2018 (three were installed in 2020 and won ACEC’s Grand Prize for 2022).
This presentation will share JMT’s journey and involvement in evaluating, analyzing, and designing multiple modular roundabouts in Virginia.
