Seeking answers, Trim found there are 20 roundabouts in the city with four more proposed.

The public meeting on Monday is addressing new roundabouts at Southwest Paar Drive at Southwest Savona Boulevard. The other site is located on Southwest Paar Drive at Southwest Darwin Boulevard.

The meeting will be held from 5-7 p.m. at the Port St. Lucie Community Center at 2195 Southeast Airoso Blvd.

Roundabouts placed at intersections result in 82% fewer crashes that result in fatalities and injuries, according to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration.

The agency said this is when comparing intersections with stop signs or traffic lights.
