Ottawa – A roundabout at Union Street and King Edward Avenue has opened to motorists, cyclists and pedestrians. This work is part of the Sussex Avenue Reconstruction Project.
In recent years, the City of Ottawa has installed a number of roundabouts in place of traditional intersections. Roundabouts are easy to use and, more importantly, safer than traditional intersections.
Motorists are advised to reduce speed and watch for pedestrians and cyclists when approaching a roundabout. Look to the left for approaching traffic within the roundabout and be prepared to stop as vehicles in the roundabout have the right of way. Enter the roundabout when there is a safe gap in traffic and proceed through the roundabout to your exit. Once in the roundabout, motorists have the right-of-way over all entering traffic. When approaching your exit, use your right turn signal to indicate your exit. Watch for pedestrians and cyclists when exiting a roundabout and be prepared to stop if necessary.
Pedestrians are reminded to walk on the sidewalk or path and cross only at the designated crosswalks. Look in the direction of oncoming traffic and wait for an acceptable gap before entering the crosswalk and proceed to the median. Before crossing the other lane of traffic, look in the direction of oncoming traffic and wait for an acceptable gap before proceeding to cross. Pedestrians should never cross the circular roadway to the central island.
Cyclists have two options for navigating a roundabout. They may operate as a motor vehicle and take control of the lane and ride in the middle, obeying the same rules as motorists. Cyclists also have the option to dismount at the crosswalk and use the sidewalks and crosswalks, similar to a pedestrian.
The construction of the Union Street roundabout is part of the Sussex Avenue Reconstruction Project, a $36 million renewal project that will see new water and sewer infrastructure, improved pedestrian, cycling and transit facilities, new lighting and signage. The work will continue until mid-December, with construction resuming in the spring of 2014.
This construction is an Ottawa on the Move project. Ottawa on the Move is about keeping our community and economy moving forward through strategic investments in a number of transportation, water, and sewer projects to build a better city and create jobs.
