The number of crashes at two-lane roundabouts decreased on average 9% per year of their existence in the roadway, according to a new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
All too often, motorists make a hasty decision to make a U-turn at the wrong place and in the incorrect manner. This can lead to collisions and even fatalities.
