Our aim was to make a roundabout at the intersection of FAMU Way and Adams Street in Tallahassee, Florida. This project was the fourth phase of renovating FAMU Way. The city wanted to make the transportation system safer, look better and work more efficiently.
Our main aim was to improve traffic flow and the way the intersection looked by building a roundabout instead of the current traffic lights. This change would reduce traffic jams and make accidents less severe, creating a safer space for drivers, cyclists and pedestrians. Overall, we wanted to make the roads safer and give people a smoother, more efficient experience.
Our challenge was designing a good-looking road that also fixed traffic problems. The roundabout had to work well and not cause trouble for the local property owners.
