There are a variety of roundabout designs that deviate from the traditional circular roundabout. These include (but not limited to):
- Teardrop/raindrop
- Dog bone
- Dumbbell
- Tennis Ball
- Peanut
- Turbo
- Squarcle
- Cut through
- Hamburger
Each of these can be used in unique situations where the cost, effectiveness or safety of traditional circular roundabouts is not optimal. Each of these non-circular roundabouts needs to be designed carefully taking into account a raft of complex factors.
