What are traffic circles?
Traffic circles are circles of varying diameter formed by curbs. The curbs are partially or wholly mountable to enable large vehicles to turn around the circle. Madison’s first neighborhood scale traffic circle was installed in 1997 at the intersection of Kendall and Grand Avenues (left). Traffic circles have been installed at New Washburn Way/, Dandaneau Trail/Chautauqua Trail and Glenway Street/Hillcrest Drive intersections.
