"Bay Area's $15M Turbo Roundabout: A Novel Solution to a Deadly Intersection"

A new $15 million 'turbo roundabout' is set to open in San Benito County near Gilroy, California, at the intersection of highways 25 and 156, aiming to reduce accidents at a site with a high collision rate. This roundabout, only the second of its kind in the U.S., features three lanes with dividers to guide drivers and discourage lane changing. Despite concerns about potential driver confusion, instructional videos have been released to aid in the transition. The roundabout is part of efforts to improve safety after other measures had limited success, and it is already open to limited traffic with full opening expected in the spring.
