Roundabout

The City of Kenora has two roundabouts in Harbourtown Centre to keep traffic flowing constantly, making it easier for everyone to travel. 

Roundabouts are circular intersections that are designed to move traffic continuously without the need for traffic lights or stop signs. This helps to reduce traffic congestion, improve safety, and reduce travel times for drivers. The roundabouts in Harbourtown Centre are strategically placed to help us get to our destination quickly and efficiently.
