2 roundabouts to open in Lancaster County next week; how popular are they in Pa.?

Columbia Borough officials hope a temporary roundabout being installed Monday at the intersection of South 12th Street and Central Avenue will help reduce speeding and accidents along a stretch of South 12th Street.

Mayor Leo Lutz said he hopes the roundabout will reduce speeding.

"I want to drive it myself. The biggest thing is for people to get used to the directions they have to go," Lutz said.

Traffic at the roundabout will be monitored for three to six months, borough police Chief Jack Brommer told LNP in May.

"This is our first attempt. If it works it probably won't be our last (roundabout)," Lutz said.
