What are Neighborhood Traffic Calming Circles?

Neighborhood traffic calming circles are much smaller than modern roundabouts and often replace stop signs at four-way intersections. They are typically used in residential neighborhoods to slow traffic speeds and reduce accidents but are typically not designed to accommodate larger vehicles. Many drivers often turn left in front of the circles rather than turning around them.
