How much land will a typical roundabout require?
60% increase in ROW.
Bob, what is your source on this?
The general description (I'll dig out the ref) is something like this:
A roundabout requires more space within the intersection.
A signal intersection requires more space leading up to the intersection when there is a right turn lane.
The total difference may be nil.
