Comments:Applies to the conversion of a four-leg intersection to a single-lane or multilane roundabout. CMF analysis includes roundabout locations with less than four average observed crashes per year in before period as one sample, roundabout locations with just a single data-year of crashes in before or after period, and roundabout locations with zero observed crashes in the before period.
