3.1 Increased Safety For Road Users By improving visibility and traffic flow, the risk of accidents will also be greatly reduced. Through the implementation of Smart Roundabouts, road users will be more informed of incoming vehicles, thus greatly reducing the chance of getting into an accident. Needless to say, roundabouts in general already improve overall safety performance, but with the added edge lights, they reduce the chance even further. According to Broom (2021), since 2016, the state of Indiana has replaced traffic lights with 256 roundabouts. The installation of roundabouts in Indiana has resulted in a decrease in accidents. There is a 90% decrease in fatalities, a 76% reduction in injuries, and a 30%–40% decline in pedestrian-related accidents. Additionally, with Smart Roundabouts, it hopes to reduce the fatality rates even further, making it safer for all road users. 3.2 Reduced Carbon Emissions When there is traffic delay, it would increase idling vehicles which can be
