Summary

Traffic rotaries reduce the complexity of crossing traffic by forcing them into weaving operations. The shape and size of the rotary are determined by the traffic volume and share of turning movements. Capacity assessment of a rotary is done by analyzing the section having the greatest proportion of weaving traffic. The analysis is done by using the formula given by TRL.
