All existing barrier systems that are removed shall become property of the Design-Builder.

18.3.4 Clear zone

The Design–Builder shall document clear zone on the final record plans.

18.3.5 Roundabout

Any roundabout should be designed based on the NCHRP study “Roundabouts: AnInformational Guide – Second Edition”.

Any roundabout should be illuminated per NCHRP 672 Chapter 8.

Vane islands shall be provided on any multi-lane roundabout approaches per NCHRP 672Exhibit 7-2

When designing multilane roundabout approaches, the right approach lane shall be 7 feetminimum ahead of the left approach lane to provide adequate sight of circulating traffic. Thisshall be measured along the approach alignment and shall be the distance between where theleft edge lines of the right and left approach lanes intersect the circulating roadway.

For purposes of determining the entry angle of visibility for roundabout approaches (NCHRP672 section 6.7.4), the Design-Builder may utilize an intersection sight distance calculated usinga minimum of 3 seconds for the critical headway for the major road (left approach), tc andcalculations of intersection sight distance as well (NCHRP 672 section 6.7.3.4).



18.4 DESIGN EXCEPTIONS AND NON-STANDARD FEATURES

It is the responsibility of the Design-Builder, in coordination with the Department, to obtainacceptance of any non-standard features included in the final design.
