- Points of conflict prevent smooth flow of
traffic. For the 4-way roundabout, the conventional roundabout has
12 points of conflicts, while the Two-Level RoundAbout by Roadnext
has only 2 points of conflicts on each of the top and bottom road. |

|
- Vehicles entering from north-south and
east-west use different roundabouts, which reduces the number of
vehicles each roundabout must handle.
- Consequently, about half the number of vehicles are subject to
about 1/6 of points of conflicts on the Two-Level Round-About.

- From the drivers¡¯ point of view, flow
of traffic is the same as the conventional roundabout. There are
top and bottom roundabout, but the direction of travel determines
which roundabout they use.
- Therefore, it is the same structure to drivers. |

|
- The Two-Level RoundAbout can be applied
to intersections of 5 or more roads.
- When the Two-Level RoundAbout is applied to a 5-way intersection,
one of top and bottom roundabout would be connected to 3 roads.
