About Palm Coast's Town Center

Have you seen a Roundabout?


Growing up in Quincy, MA there was a traffic circle as you approached the Fore River Bridge that we called a rotary. I do remember others in the area at that time but I'm not sure exactly where they were. My understanding was that back in the 1950’s these rotary configurations were no longer being built due to traffic and other issues. There were many stories when I was in high school about people cutting through the rotary to take a shortcut to the bridge. Of course we would never do anything like that, must have been aliens.
Recently in Palm Coast, Florida I came across 2 traffic circles called Roundabouts. The name is for a configuration that gives traffic in the circle the right of way and entering vehicles must yield. Both of the Palm Coast Roundabouts are in Town Center.

One is at the intersection of Central Avenue and Town Center Blvd. The other is on Landing Blvd. at the east end of Palm Coast Landing Shopping Plaza about a block off route 100. So it seems these traffic circles may be making a come back since the town center development in Palm Coast is less than 10 years old.
Are there any examples of a rotary or roundabout or other named traffic circles in your area? Do you have any knowledge or experience with a traffic circle you would like to share?
