Roundabout Ready

What You Need to Know

Six new roundabouts are being built in Henderson. There will be three located at the reconstructed KY 351/2nd Street interchange and three roundabouts located at the new US 60 interchange.

The first two roundabouts at KY 351/2nd Street are located west of US 41 and are expected to open to traffic in late summer 2024.

Using a Roundabout

A roundabout is an unsignalized one-way circular intersection that improves traffic flow, minimizes congestion, and increases safety.

Roundabouts are used to promote lower speeds and reduce conflict points, leading to improved performance.

Key Steps

  • Slow down.
  • Be ready to yield.
  • Stay in the correct lane.
  • Do not stop within the roundabout.

Benefits of a Roundabout

Roundabouts are successfully in use across the country and region, with approximately 10,000 roundabouts in use in the United States.
