Educational videos show how to navigate new U.S. 41 roundabouts

Sarasota, FL: The City of Sarasota is sharing a series of informational videos to help educate motorists on how to navigate the new multi-lane roundabout on U.S. 41 at 10th and 14th streets ahead of their planned opening next weekend (April 17-20).

Studies have consistently found roundabouts to be safer than conventional stop signs or signal systems. In fact, replacing signals with roundabouts has been shown to decrease an intersection’s number of traffic fatalities by 90 percent.

The videos, produced in conjunction with engineering firm Kimley-Horn and Associates, can be viewed below and on the city's website.
