Roundabouts

The City of Parkland's Roundabouts

Increasing safety, optimizing traffic flow, and improving aesthetics are among the many benefits roundabouts bring to our City. Parkland residents are familiar with roundabouts as they have driven through them for many years at the intersection of Holmberg Road and Riverside Drive and the intersection of Holmberg Road and Parkside Drive. Several new roundabouts have been constructed in recent years, with more planned for future construction.

The roundabout at University Drive and Old Club Road at the entrance to the Parkland Golf and Country Club (PGCC) was completed in December 2021. In addition, a roundabout at Hillsboro Boulevard and Everglades Way in the new Falls at Parkland development was recently completed. As part of the Florida Department of Transportation's (FDOT's) Loxahatchee Road Improvements Project, three additional roundabouts will be constructed where Loxahatchee Road intersects with Nob Hill Road, University Drive, and Parkside Drive.

Using a Roundabout Safely

To safely navigate through a single-lane roundabout:

Reduce your speed to 10-15 mph as you approach the roundabout.
Be aware of bicyclists and pedestrians!
Look left for oncoming traffic (traffic moves counter-clockwise).
Yield to vehicles already in the roundabout.
Wait for a gap and enter.
DO NOT STOP in the roundabout!
Do not pass other vehicles while in the roundabout.
Remember to use your turn signal to exit the roundabout to the right.
Yield to all pedestrians who may be crossing the exit lane.
Always allow emergency vehicles to pass.
