I would like your help in making the BRAIRCREST VILLA MARIA intersection safer and faster for driving, walking and biking. By putting in a roundabout 

"Roundabouts reduced injury crashes by 75 percent at intersections where stop signs or signals were previously used for traffic control, according to a study by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS)."

Traffic flow benefits

"A study of 11 intersections in Kansas found a 65% average reduction in delays and a 52% average reduction in vehicle stops after roundabouts were installed"

Roundabouts reduce the conflict points for vehicles by 75% and

pedestrians by 50%. Traffic is slowed to 15 to 25 mph and pedestrians only have to cross traffic in one direction at a time.

The City will design its roundabouts so that people can safely walk across the streets. The

crosswalks are designed to allow pedestrians to cross at a minimum distance of 10 feet from the roundabout circle. The crosswalk is also divided by a median, and lets pedestrians see vehicles coming from one direction at a time. Pedestrians will see traffic exiting on one side of the median and traffic entering the roundabout on the other side. roundabouts slow vehicles down to a more manageable speed threshold (less than 30 mph,

and typically in the 15-25 mph range), so that bicyclist and pedestrian can mix and cross as desired. There are less conflict points for all modes of travel, and with the slower speeds

roundabouts are safer for all. Roundabouts are the safest at grade intersection today

I have faith that the good people of Bryan Texas can learn quickly how to use a roundabout I fell we can drive smarter and safer
