ROAD construction, TRAFFIC circles, ROAD interchanges & intersections, NEW York State Route 28 (N.Y.), NEW Jersey. Dept. of Transportation
Abstract

This article reports that the reconfiguring of a traffic circle on Route 28 in Westfield, New Jersey, is proof that good construction projects sometimes come in small packages. The $2.4 million project's main goal was to reconfigure the traffic circle into a "modern roundabout" in order to improve traffic safety along Route 28, an east-west roadway that connects Somerset, Middlesex, and Union counties. The project, undertaken on behalf of the New Jersey Department of Transportation, wrapped up in July. The road's prior configuration gave motorists entering the circle the false impression that they had the right-of-way. The department blamed numerous traffic accidents on the confusing configuration.
