Higgins Beckwith Roundabout
The first modern, single lane roundabout on an arterial in Missoula opened for traffic in August,  2009. We are continuing to raise awareness in the community about using roundabouts, with public service announcements, on-site instruction, flyers and other media. We need volunteers to: count traffic, interview people using the intersection (especially pedestrians and cyclists), and film the intersection at different times of the day. We are exploring different possibilities for ‘before and after’ studies.
