The purpose of the review is to provide feedback to practitioners involved in the design of roundabouts from the concept stage through to detailed design and implementation. This is intended to then alert the profession to the elements that need particular care in the design phases so as to avoid the typical problems highlighted by the audits. This review has considered 50 audit reports, looking at the issues and problems raised by the various auditors. It is not a review of the auditors’ techniques. information shown in the form of graphs and percentages has been summarised from the sample of audit reports and does not represent a vigorous statistical analysis.
