The new roundabout at Cody's Corner at State Road 11 and County Road 304  is now operational.

On Wednesday, Dec. 4, the Florida Department of Transportation opened the roundabout, replacing the a four-way intersection, a Flagler County press release said. While the new roundabout traffic pattern is now operational, FDOT will continue construction on the overall project into next year and motorists are advised to use caution when driving through Cody's Corner.

Barrels, signage, and message boards are in place to help guide drivers through the construction work zone, an FDOT news release said. Vehicles will enter the roundabout by going to the right and continuing counterclockwise.

While traffic entering the roundabout must yield to traffic already in the roundabout, "drivers should not stop if it is clear to enter," the FDOT release said.

S.R.11 and C.R. 304 will remain open to traffic during construction, but single lane closures with flagging operations can be expected throughout the project, the county press release said. Work also includes lighting upgrades, landscaping in the center of the roundabout, new signage, and new pavement markings, the release states.

Upcoming lane closures and project updates will be posted on the FDOT project webpage at https://www.cflroads.com/project/439156-1.

A roundabout is a circular intersection with no traffic signals, where traffic flows in a one-way counterclockwise direction, according to FDOT. Key navigation rules include:

  • Yielding to traffic already in the roundabout
  • Not changing lanes or stopping
  • Signaling before exiting
  • Yielding to pedestrians and bicyclists
