Roundabouts

The City of Dunedin and FDOT are transforming Skinner Boulevard to include two single-lane roundabouts at Douglas Avenue and Highland Avenue. Construction is expected to be completed by Spring 2026. According to FDOT, not only do roundabouts decrease traffic delays by about 20%, but they also keep drivers, pedestrians and bicyclists safer. In fact, roundabouts reduce fatalities and serious injuries by 78% to 82%.

Here are some best practices when it comes to utilizing roundabouts, courtesy of FDOT:


Driving

  • Determine which way you want to go in advance of the roundabout
  • Keep right at the splitter island and slow to 10-15 mph
  • Watch for bicyclists and allow them to merge into the entry lane
  • Watch for pedestrians crossing the entry roadway and yield right-of-way
  • Yield right-of-way to vehicles within the circulatory roadway
  • Turn right onto the circulatory roadway when it is safe to do so
  • When you approach your street, use your right-turn signal and exit the roundabout
  • Watch for pedestrians crossing the exit roadway and yield right-of-way

Biking

  • Merge with traffic on the entry lane or use the ramp to the sidewalk
  • If riding with traffic, signal your intended path
  • If using the sidewalks, yield right-of-way to pedestrians and walk your bicycle at crosswalks

Walking

  • Stay on the walkways and cross at designated crosswalks
  • Do not enter the central island
  • Watch for motorists and bicyclists
  • Cross to the splitter island and stop there if traffic requires
