* One-lane roundabouts are generally feasible if the combined AADT is less than 25,000. If a one-lane roundabout is infeasible a signal is the safest feasible design.

* One-lane roundabouts are generally feasible if the combined AADT is less than 25,000. If a one-lane roundabout is infeasible a signal is the safest feasible design.
** Two-lane roundabouts are generally feasible if the combined AADT is less than 45,000. If a two-lane roundabout is infeasible a median u-turn is the safest feasible design.
