Informational brochures

A number of agencies, including the Maryland State Highway Administration and the City of Montpelier, Vermont, have used informational brochures to educate the public about roundabouts in their communities. Brochures have also been prepared for specific projects. Exhibit 2-6 shows examples from the brochures prepared for the I-70/Vail Road roundabouts in Vail, Colorado, and the Towson Roundabout in Towson, Maryland. These brochures include drawings or photographic simulations of the proposed roundabout. The brochures also typically include general information on roundabouts (what roundabouts are, where they can be found, and the types of benefits that can be expected). Sometimes they also include instructions on how to use the roundabout as a motorist, bicyclist, and pedestrian. The Towson brochure included additional information on the business association in the area, the streetscape policy of the county, and information on the construction phases of the roundabout.
