A Round-About Way of Seeing McMinnville's First Traffic Circle

The round-about being constructed for the NW Hill Road Project is the first traffic circle in McMinnville. From a planning perspective, I am a fan of these traffic regulators because they are a natural way to slow down traffic while also allowing traffic to flow. From an environmental perspective, they are environmentally friendly as they do not use electricity (compared to traffic signals). According to the United States Department of Transportation, traffic circles are safer and more efficient compared to signals and four way stop signs.

    "Great Neighborhood Principles" will help us explore what makes a neighborhood in
    McMinnville a great place to live, raise a family, and retire.  How can we ensure that everyone lives in a great neighborhood and that we protect those elements of a neighborhood that make it great? Each week we will explore a different planning principle on the blog and how it relates to creating great neighborhoods. The blogs will be accompanied by a two question survey about this principle, and answers will be used to help guide our future work in developing great neighborhoods in McMinnville.
