MLA Citation: “Benefits of Roundabouts.” FDOT,

www.fdot.gov/agencyresources/roundabouts/benefits.shtm.

Summarizer: "Roundabouts are increasingly becoming more popular due to the benefits

that they provide. These benefits include dramatic reductions in serious injury and fatality

crashes as well as reductions in delay for road users." This source talks a lot about the

safety that roundabouts provide compared to traffic signals, where there are 90% fewer

fatalities and 75% fewer injuries. The source states that there is a 30 to 50% increase in

less waiting for traffic lights or stop signs.

Assess: This source was very useful with helping see different benefits that roundabouts

have that other sources don't show. This source compared to my other source is similar

but different. This source talks more about statistics of roundabout traffic and fatalities

than the other one talking about challenges and elderly impact of roundabouts.

Reflect: I can use this source in my argument to talk about how much roundabouts

prevent injuries and fatalities. It has changed how I think about my topic because it shows

me how much roundabouts actually help our environment and prevent crashes.
