Roundabout is the term being applied in the US to modernized versions of what had been called rotaries in the past. These are be becoming more prevalent as safe, efficient solutions to various intersections. The difficulties encountered at the rotaries at the entrance to the bridges at Cape Cod and other similar designs are the reason for using the term roundabout to distinguish the new designs. Rather than continue this discussion here, however, if anyone has questions on the new roundabout designs please contact me directly and when I return from my trip I can provide some reference info or links.
