A bicycle friendly roundabout: designing to direct cyclists to ride where drivers look (Australia)
This paper proposes a new single-lane roundabout design concept which provides cues to cyclists to move to the middle of the lane – where drivers are most likely to look. The design slows vehicles and aligns them for improved visibility to the right. The author recommends that road authorities review the research about the dangers for cyclists on the edge of roundabouts and revise design guidelines, with circulating bicycle lanes prohibited rather than recommended. The paper was published in 2012 in the Proceedings of the Fourth Australian Cycling Conference.
