Abstract

Turbo roundabouts are lately a more common choice in designing multilane roundabouts. First guidelines for geometric design of this particular roundabout layout were developed by a Dutch Information and Technology Platform CROW in 2008. Soon after, a number of European countries began to develop their own regulations on turbo roundabouts, adjusted to their traffic cultures and their local conditions. In order to present the diversity of design approaches for turbo roundabout planning in various European regions, comparative analysis of turbo roundabout design procedures described in Slovenian technical specifications, Serbian design manual, German working document, and Croatian and Dutch guidelines is made. Relevant influential parameters used in these procedures are commented. Study presented in this paper may contribute to the success of turbo roundabout planning procedure.
