Four articles about priority on roundabouts. According to research conducted by the Institute for Road Safety Research, SWOV, there are fewer accidents in the urban area between cars and bicycles on roundabouts which have separate bicycle paths without cyclist priority than on roundabouts with cyclist priority. If cars had priority on all these roundabouts, there would be between 50 and 70 fewer hospital admissions.
However, the Fietsersbond (Cycling Association) does not consider the results of the statistical research as a reason to review existing recommendations. Roundabouts with cyclist priority are very safe compared to busier junctions.
