Roundabouts Becoming an Increasingly Popular Intersection Alternative
Kern County – Caltrans plans to construct as many as 20 new roundabouts in the Central Valley in the near future—the latest being the Reservation Road Roundabout in the city of Porterville.

This News Flash is the 49th in a series of videos highlighting Caltrans’ activities that keep California’s transportation system moving forward.
