While full-sized roundabouts are a proven solution for addressing safety and mobility at intersections, their costs have risen relative to other intersection control types, prompting interest in lower-cost alternatives. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, June 25, 2026 from 11:00 AM to 12:30 PM Eastern that will explore how highway agencies are planning, designing, and implementing mini and modular roundabouts as cost-effective intersection solutions. Presenters will highlight mini roundabout use on higher-speed rural roadways and near schools, where they can efficiently manage peak traffic flows and improve safety. Presenters will also examine the limited but growing use of modular roundabouts, including the contexts in which they have been deployed and the challenges affecting broader adoption.
This webinar is based on NCHRP Project 20-68, Domestic Scan 23-01: Experiences in the Use of Mini and Modular Roundabouts by Highway Agencies.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program.
The registration fee is $100. Purchase a webinar package for discounted pricing. Complimentary registration is available for employees of TRB sponsors, standing technical committee chairs, involved CRP panel members, media, congressional staff, and TRB or National Academies staff. Visit MyTRB.org for details.
A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
