Rounding the Curve in Pinellas with Two Cities and Radically Different Roundabouts

Two cities in North Pinellas took the same big, bold step within their downtown cores: installing roundabouts to improve safety, traffic flow, and multimodal access. But the results couldn't be more different.

In Dunedin, a pair of well-placed roundabouts integrate naturally with the corridor. In nearby Palm Harbor, a single roundabout creates confusion and uneven flow. What we'll find in the differences is how design and landscape play into final outcomes.

This comparison isn't only about intersections though. Instead, it's about how cities plan, execute, and align transit infrastructure with community needs.
