Wilson Avenue Corridor Project Update – June 4, 2022

SAFETY FIRST

Roundabout Safety Tips: 

  • Slow down as you approach the roundabout and be prepared to yield to pedestrians and vehicles already in the traffic circle. 
  • Use your turn signals to tell other drivers where you are going.  
  • Stop only if there is no opening for you to safely enter the circle. 
  • In the case of a multi-lane roundabout, follow posted signs to make sure you’re in the correct lane for where you want to go.
