Bill > HB1484

This bill requires the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDot) to obtain explicit approval from the local governing body (such as a county commission, city council, or town board) before constructing a roundabout on any federal highway, numbered state highway, or state route within their jurisdiction. The bill defines a roundabout as a road junction where traffic circulates in one direction around a central island to access converging roads. Under this proposed legislation, when MoDot wants to build a roundabout, it must request consent from the local governing body, and that body must respond with its decision within thirty days of receiving the request. This bill appears to be designed to give local governments more control over transportation infrastructure projects in their areas, ensuring that they have a say in significant changes to roadways that could impact local traffic patterns and community design.
