Abstract
The psychotechnical parameters of drivers of vehicles at the entries to intersections without traffic lights and roundabouts include critical headway and follow-up headway. The paper presents analysis of significance of differences in values of these parameters for drivers of vehicles at the entries to one-lane roundabouts and turbo roundabouts. The comparative analysis was used to evaluate entries of one lane and turbo roundabouts with traffic organization with a single traffic lane with possibility of entering a single lane on the main circular roadway. The results obtained in the study will help find differences in the parameters compared.
