New Lenox, IL – A new roundabout at Cedar Road and Haven Avenue in New Lenox is expected to open by the end of the month, village officials announced this week. The project aims to improve traffic flow and safety at one of the area’s busier intersections.
According to the Village of New Lenox, motorists should be prepared for a few key changes when the roundabout becomes operational. Drivers are reminded to yield to pedestrians and bicyclists in the crosswalk before entering, and to all circulating vehicles within the roundabout. Officials emphasize entering only when a safe gap in traffic is available.
Once inside, drivers should continue through to their exit without stopping, as circulating traffic maintains the right of way. Upon exiting, drivers must again yield to any pedestrians or cyclists in the crosswalk.
The roundabout’s opening is expected to help reduce congestion and improve safety at the intersection, a key connector for commuters traveling through central Will County.
