Hwy 63 and CR 112 — Olmsted County
We’re planning to build a roundabout at the intersection of Hwy 63 and Olmsted Co. Rd. 112 to reduce crashes and improve driver safety in the area. This is an intersection with two highway-speed roadways. Stop signs control traffic on Co. Rd. 112. At times, drivers become impatient because of limited gaps in traffic. This has led to a sustained history of crashes.
Building a roundabout at the intersection will help reduce dangerous driving behavior and the number of crashes by improving traffic flow.
Benefits of a roundabout
- Significantly reduces the risk of serious and fatal crashes
- Roundabouts show an 86% decrease in fatal crashes and an 83% decrease in life-altering injury crashes
- Allows drivers to get through the intersection more safely and in less time
- Roundabouts handle high levels of traffic with less delay than most stop signs or signals
- Slows traffic to make entering and exiting the area easier for all users
