City of Folsom considers converting major intersections into roundabouts to improve traffic safety ...Middle East

Drivers in Folsom could soon be thrown a curve as the city is considering converting nearly a dozen major roadway intersections into roundabouts. 

Rackovan said roundabouts will allow drivers to get through an intersection without stopping for a red light. Streets that have big traffic backups — like East Bidwell, Blue Ravine, and Riley — are on the list. 

"You're designing it so the motorist has to enter the intersection between 15 and 25 miles per hour," Rackovan said. 

"It was an eye-opening experience to visit this community and experience what it's like to drive from one side of the city to another with hardly any delay," he said. 

So how much do roundabouts cost to install? 

Some Folsom drivers support adding circles to busy roads, but there is concern that some drivers will be confused by the new traffic calming devices. 

Roundabout supporters say they also help improve the environment by reducing fuel consumption and vehicle emissions by up to 30%.
