Pedestrian Safety in Traffic Circles
Michigan drivers are facing new driving challenges presented by traffic circles. More and more Michigan communities are installing traffic circles to decrease perpendicular (T-Bone) type accidents and thereby decrease serious injuries at intersections. While drivers adjust to where and when to yield to other cars in traffic circles they also need to be keenly aware of pedestrians trying to navigate traffic circle sidewalks. City and State officials have been attempting to educate drivers to proceed slowly and be aware that the law requires automobiles yield to all pedestrian traffic prior to entering the traffic circle and before exiting the traffic circle.
