The safety of cyclists at roundabouts : A comparison between Swedish, Danish and Dutch results

The aim of the study was to compare the safety of cyclists at roundabouts and at other types of junctions. Different solutions for the passage of cyclists at roundabouts have been studied. The number of lanes, the size of the roundabout and the number of cars and cyclists were taken into consideration. Both Swedish and foreign data and experience were utilised. Single􂀔lane and comparatively small roundabouts seem to offer the best safety. Furthermore, it must be emphasised that the study was limited and no extensive conclusions can be drawn. Further studies are recommended.
