Michigan’s Top 10 Most Dangerous Roundabouts Revealed

And now, thanks to Michigan Auto Law, we know which of these traffic circles are the 10 most dangerous in the state (see gallery below).

Why Michigan Drivers Hate Roundabouts

Roundabouts are often touted as safer than traditional intersections, and begrudgingly, data from the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) backs that up, in part. Fatal and injury crashes may go down, but total crashes often go up. This means fewer catastrophic wrecks, but a whole lot more screeching brakes, last-second lane changes, and drivers realizing they picked the wrong entrance lane three seconds too late.

Tips to Navigate Roundabouts Safely

Adding to the confusion, injury data is often based on ambulance responses at the scene. As Michigan Auto Law's Steve Gursten notes, many crash injuries show up hours or days later, long after everyone has driven home, convinced they are "fine."

The frustration is real, and so is the data. Five of the top twenty most dangerous intersections in Michigan are roundabouts. Following the basic rules of a roundabout, like choosing your lane before entering, using your turn signal (yes, that's a law), and remembering that traffic moves counterclockwise, will keep you from becoming a statistic.
