Credits
This course grants 0.70 CEUs and 7 AICP CM credits. (Pending AICP Approval)Description
This course is designed to guide transportation practitioners through the evaluation and design of roundabouts within a multimodal and complete-streets context. Participants will explore key topics related to planning, policy, safety, public involvement, operations, geometry, and other essential design elements. The course will include best practice examples illustrated through extensive photos and videos. Specific topics will cover geometric configuration, traffic operation analysis, bicycle and pedestrian integration, right-of-way considerations, drainage, and landscaping, all in alignment with the latest NCHRP and CA MUTCD guidelines. Lessons learned from past practices across California, other states, and internationally will be analyzed to help participants evaluate and refine their own future projects.Click here for a detailed outline.

What You Will Learn
By the end of this course, participants will gain a comprehensive understanding of the principles and practical concepts of roundabouts in the contexts of policy, planning, public engagement, design, and operations. Key takeaways will include:- Mastery of capacity analysis, crash rate reduction, and traffic calming measures
- Understanding geometric design principles and criteria
- Knowledge of pedestrian and bicycle safety treatments
- Insight into right-of-way impacts, landscape design, drainage, and maintenance
- Evaluation of successful roundabout projects in California, U.S., and other counties
Who Should Attend
This course is ideal for transportation professionals involved in the planning, feasibility studies, and design of roadway projects that may include intersection modifications, capacity improvement and/or traffic calming solutions. Attendees will gain the skills to quickly assess the feasibility of roundabouts as an alternative to traditional intersection controls. The course is tailored for individuals with some background in intersection evaluation and design, though prior experience is not required for participation.For More Information
