The
final piece of the Loop 202 (Red Mountain Freeway), between
Power and University roads, is under construction and scheduled
to be complete in late 2008. Within this segment, drivers
entering or exiting the new freeway at the McKellips Road
and Brown Road interchanges will encounter roundabout intersections.
Recognized nationwide for their outstanding safety statistics,
roundabout intersections also help maintain steady traffic
flow when compared to traffic signal intersections. The communities
surrounding these interchanges expressed a preference for
these innovative intersection types during the planning of
this freeway.
