- Filmed on Saturday, August 24 2024, I drive around Indianapolis suburb Carmel, IN to see what's going on.
Carmel was originally named Bethlehem. The original settlers were predominantly Quakers.
A post office was established as "Carmel" in 1846 because Indiana already had a post office called Bethlehem. The town of Bethlehem was renamed Carmel in 1874.
In 1924, one of the first automatic traffic signals in the U.S. was installed at the intersection of Main Street and Rangeline Road.
Between 1988 and 2022, the city of Carmel constructed 141 roundabouts.

Roundabouts in a US city!! Common everywhere throughout Australia. Must say what a beautiful city, would feel right at home there. Thanks for showcasing it.
Was just there about a week ago. The roundabouts are a game changer--a next level city for sure.
I find it interesting that Carmel was one of the first cities to install an automatic traffic signal and now they are clearly leading the charge on building roundabouts. They care about the transportation of their citizens!
Phong cảnh rất là đẹp cảm ơn bạn đã chia sẻ video rất là hay chúc bạn buổi tối vui vẻ
Perhaps it's only reasonable that the city with the first signalized intersection continues to be at the forefront of intersection design and road safety in the US today.
I've never been there, but I've read about it. It looks like the former mayor was really competent, and that can make a difference. He also spearheaded roundabouts (and some of them required 200+ pages of environmental studies before they could be built). The architecture is also nice - instead of silly modernist buildings, there's sort of a federalist style, and that makes the city look nice. Nice architecture was sort of enforced by the city as well - it wasn't obligatory, but was nudged through tax credits and such. In the two dense areas, they've put parking underground to achieve density and walkability. Having competent leadership is really important. And a leadership with a vision. Portsmouth, New Hampshire sort of has similar vibes - brick sidewalks, older style buildings, better architecture (but no roundabouts really).
Fine day for a tour.
