We did a roundabout project recently and our state DOT required a traffic study prior to installation. The roundabout itself had areas where the artwork and/or
any landscaping had to be below 36” for driver visibility purposes. I would think each roundabout needs to be evaluated individually unless they all have the same layout and surrounding elements.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: Roundabouts
I wanted to share this study I found online regarding Cone of Vision for roundabouts and public art. It may be useful.
You can follow the link to a pdf.

I, too am interested in the answers to this for a Triangle space created by 3 streets into which we will place a public art piece.
Thank you,

Hi Steph—
We have few roundabouts in Indianapolis, but there are tons in Carmel, IN just to our north and they are starting to put sculpture in them.
Here’s their latest installation: http://www.indyartsguide.org/public-art/beacon-bloom/ It is on the border between Indianapolis and Carmel. You will notice that most
of the “interest” is up high with very little blockage down at street level. I believe that was deliberate. I can put you in touch with the artist if you like, to see if he was given any specific instructions during the design process.

Does anyone have design guidelines for placing and sizing public art in a roundabout? I am specifically looking for information that will keep the cone of vision open so that drivers can see other cars and pedestrians. I have found several
resources from the Department of Transportation but curious if there are other standards that agencies are using. If you have a RFP that includes this info, please send it my way!
Thank you,
Stephanie Troyan
