This study deals with the roundabout by flare of entry and exit. The goal is to analyze the relative effectiveness of roundabout by flare of entry and exit. In pursuing the above, this study gives the particular attentions to comparing the performances using VISSIM software. The main results analyzed are as follows. First, the single and double roundabouts are analyzed to have LOS F in the case of total entering vehicles of 2,400pcph and 4,400pcph Second, the roundabouts by entry flare analyzed to have LOS F in the case of total entering vehicles of 2,800~3,200pcph and the roundabouts by entry and exit flare analyzed to have LOS F in the case of total entering vehicles of 3,200~3,600pcph. Finally, result of comparative analysis of roundabout and roundabout by flare of entry and exit, capacity of roundabout by flare of entry and exit are located between 1-lane roundabout and 2-lane roundabout. therefore it analyzed that roundabout by flare of entry and exit can be added to new type roundabout.
