Overview:
This roundabout opened to traffic in the Fishtown neighborhood of Philadelphia in October 2021 and is among the first of its kind in the City of Philadelphia. The intersection was transformed from a 6-legged signalized intersection that was hard to navigate with low signal head visibility to a more pedestrian friendly intersection with slower speeds, reduced emissions, and less risk of severe crashes.
