Message from the Mayor

» AS GREEN CELEBRATES 30 YEARS AS AN INCORPORATED CITY, we have seen growth in businesses, housing and with that, road improvements and connectivity. We’ve also seen the addition of a dozen modern roundabouts.

In 2009, we installed our first roundabout — one of the first in the county and the region. Now roundabouts are popping up everywhere. Green is set to open its 10th roundabout in 2022 at Greensburg and Arlington roads. In 2023, two more roundabouts will open as part of a major reconstruction project on Massillon Road, south of Interstate 77.

So why roundabouts when signalized intersections worked just fine for years? With every road project, we evaluate design options, and roundabouts are almost always the right choice because they move traffic efficiently and are safer than traditional signalized intersections.

Case in point: Using roundabouts for the Massillon Road South improvement project was an easy choice. To build traditional signalized intersections at Boettler Road and Corporate Woods Circle, nine lanes of traffic would be required, including designated turn lanes. Building nine lanes of traffic would have created an unsightly sea of asphalt at the gateway to our city and impacted dozens of businesses, causing many to close.

By using modern roundabouts, we could reduce the number of lanes on Massillon Road to four. This is possible because roundabouts are much more efficient and don’t require designated turn lanes at intersections. Four lanes with landscaped roundabouts versus nine lanes also makes for a much more attractive entrance to our city.

Add in the safety inherent in the design of roundabouts and the choice is clear. A study by AAA in 2017 suggested that 30% of traffic deaths and serious injuries could be avoided by converting key intersections to roundabouts. Over 90% of traffic accidents are caused by human error. And while we cannot eliminate human error, accidents in roundabouts rarely result in serious injuries or death because traffic patterns are simplified, and speeds are significantly reduced.

Some other advantages of roundabouts include not having to stop and wait at traffic lights, so you get there quicker, save gas and reduce emissions.

So why did we choose roundabouts for the Massillon Road Corridor Improvement project, as we have for many of our other recent projects in Green? We chose the option that moves traffic faster, more efficiently and safely, that is cheaper to build and maintain, more fuel efficient and more attractive. — Mayor Gerard Neugebauer
