Roundabout complete
ODOT, in partnership with the City of Molalla, improved safety at the intersection of OR 213 and Toliver Road in Molalla by constructing a roundabout.
The roundabout will improve safety by reducing sharp turns while also accommodating the type of traffic that uses it, including large vehicles like trucks, buses and agricultural equipment.
Now that the roundabout is open, please travel with care as everyone adjusts to the new traffic pattern. Please read below for some reminders about how to navigate through the roundabout.
Thank you for your patience during construction. View our latest video.

For people riding a bike
You can navigate the roundabout like a motor vehicle would, or use the sidewalk and crosswalks. If you use the sidewalk, yield to people walking, travel at a walking speed or walk your bike.
For people using the sidewalk
Stay on the sidewalk or in designated crosswalks. When preparing to cross, watch for oncoming vehicles to make sure they stop for you before proceeding. Cross one direction of travel at a time and wait at the islands in the crosswalk until your path is clear.
Emergency Vehicles in Roundabouts
Do not enter a roundabout when emergency vehicles are approaching. Pull over to the right. Allow other vehicles to clear the intersection so the emergency vehicles can move through the roundabout. Never stop while inside the roundabout. Instead, move through and exit the roundabout. Once you exit, pull over to the right shoulder and allow emergency vehicles to pass.
