Heavy trucks can be described as featuring a gross-vehicle weight of over 26,000 pounds. These vehicles also have a longer footprint, larger turning radii, and greater required distances to achieve desired acceleration and deceleration. These innate characteristics influence the ways heavy trucks enter and traverse the circulatory roadway of a roundabout. Roundabouts have the potential to provide both safety and operational improvements, and are often designed to accommodate heavy trucks, but under congested conditions the entrance requirements are confounded by fewer available gaps on the circulatory roadway.
