Dynamic roundabout vehicle path is according to U.S. standards one of the parameters used to prove the validity of roundabout design. Under Czech law is roundabout design verification based on possibility of roundabout design vehicle path. But the question is whether the only a verification is enough especially if traffic is increasing [1]. The article is devoted to the analysis of dynamic roundabout vehicle path. Article dealt with the speed of through movement on roundabout, depending on the radius of the characteristic roundabouts points. In situ measurements were made on selected single-lane, four-leg roundabout. The aim of this work is to evaluate selected roundabout in terms of the dynamics vehicle path and then find out how much corresponds theoretical dynamic vehicle path to the real one.
