McAllen Builds Safer Streets with New Roundabouts
· Texas Border Business
The City of McAllen is enhancing roadway safety and traffic flow by introducing modern roundabouts at key intersections. These traffic circles use a yield-on-entry system, which helps reduce congestion and the likelihood of severe accidents by up to 90%, according to TxDOT. The first roundabout is located at Freddy Gonzalez Drive and 33rd Street, part of a broader initiative to modernize the city’s infrastructure. City Manager Isaac J. Tawil emphasized the importance of safety in infrastructure decisions as McAllen grows. Four additional roundabouts are planned as funding becomes available, aiming to improve mobility while maintaining lower travel speeds.
