� <br />—t <br />TWIN LAKES PARKWAY-PRIOR/MOUNT RIDGE AVENUES <br />PROPOSEDROUNDABOUT <br />The City of Maplewood's experience with roundabouts has been positive: <br />. Since opening of the first roundabout at Frost Avenue and English Street in 2002, <br />a second one has been constructed and a third is in the planning stages <br />� A reduction in crashes has been experienced at the Frost Avenue and English <br />Street intersection from 4-6 per year prior to the roundabout to only one in past <br />two years <br />� The police and fire departments have been supportive, since delays are reduced <br />• A speed reduction of 2-S miles per hour has been observed <br />In general roundabouts: <br />� have slower speeds (15 MPH required for roundabout), which are consistent with <br />planned roadways through Twin Lakes area; <br />� result in fewer "conflict points" (places where crashes are most likely); <br />� have winter maintenance that is no more involved than for a regular intersection; <br />� operate more efficiently than all-way stop-controlledintersection; <br />� Can have lower overall construction/mainCenance costs than signalized <br />intersections; <br />• Require adjustment on the part of driver behavior. <br /># � �� <br />�� <br />���� <br />���� <br />� �i� <br />��� <br />� �w� <br />n ,�. <br />�on�� <br />o � w� <br />� �� <br />�on� <br />The proposed Twin Lakes Parkway -Prior/Mount Ridge roundabout: <br />� Has an appropriate design for the expected volumes and traffic mix; <br />� would operate at about 63 percent of capacity in a typical weekday p.m. peak <br />hour; <br />• would operate at approximately 80 percent of capacity in a typical weekend peak <br />hour; <br />� may exceed capacity by 10-15 percent during a holiday season weekend peak <br />hour (depending on retail mix). <br />October 12, 2004 <br />
