New Configuration at the Belleville
Public Square -
Inspired by the Illinois Department
of Transportation (IDOT) our new configuration at
the Square seeks to provide safer and more efficient
traffic flow. Traffic approaching the circle yields
to traffic already in the circle. Pavement markings
direct traffic into a one-way, counter-clockwise
flow. This IDOT design has proven itself to save
lives with a 90% reduction in fatalities, a 76%
reduction in injury sustaining crashes and a 35%
reduction in pedestrian sustaining injuries. All
municipalities state-wide are encouraged by IDOT to
adopt this round-about type design, where
applicable, when reconstructing their downtown
areas. Belleville is proud to have been one of the
first large municipalities which partnered with IDOT
to provide safer, more efficient traffic flow!
Round-About Configuration
MYTH:
- Traffic must come to a
complete stop when in the circle
and allow the next vehicle into the rotation.
FALSE: -
When your vehicle is in the circle
you should keep moving. All
other vehicles must yield to your vehicle. More
problems occur behind your vehicle when your vehicle
stops and interrupts the traffic flow.

50/50 Sidewalk Program
Each fiscal year
monies are budgeted, and competitive construction
bids taken, in order to partner with property owners
to replace sidewalks that are in poor condition.
The most economical price is obtained with the City
paying half and the resident paying half of the
cost. This 50/50 program has helped renovate
neighborhood sidewalks across the City. Perhaps you
would like to take advantage of this program? Why
not submit a Sidewalk Replacement 50/50 Application
today?
