The Canadian Roundabout Design Guide (CRDG) provides
information and guidance related to the planning, design, construction,
operation, maintenance and safety of roundabouts in Canada. The CRDG serves as
a companion to the Transportation Association of Canada (TAC) Geometric Design
Guide for Canadian Roads (GDG), providing direction specific to the application
and design of roundabouts. The reader is referred to the overarching document
for general guidance on roadway geometric design.
The CRDG has been written and compiled based on reviews of
national and international best practice documents and research, while
considering the experience of Canadian jurisdictions with roundabouts already
in service.
