Ask the Edmonds Cop: Traffic accident data since opening of 5 Corners roundabout

Edmonds Police Sgt. Shane Hawley answers your public safety questions. This week: What does the traffic collision data show since the 2014 opening of the 5 Corners roundabout in Edmonds?

  1. So, did the 5 collisions occur at the beginning of the small sample period when people were
    just learning to drive in the roundabout or over the entire period?

    1. My understanding it was over the entire period. I hope Sgt. Hawley will weigh in if that isn’t correct.

  2. Comment for Officer Hawley:

    Since the five corners intersection became a roundabout, I’ve noticed an interesting and unfortunate side effect. And that is that drivers now treat the four-way stop around the fountain as yet another roundabout!
