Less expensive. The cost difference between building a roundabout and a traffic signal is comparable. Where long-term costs are considered, roundabouts eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals, which can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 per year.Roundabouts are also more effective during power outages.here long-term costs are considered, roundabouts eliminate hardware, maintenance and electrical costs associated with traffic signals, which can cost between $5,000 and $10,000 per year.

A rendering of the magnetic field lines of Earth's magnetosphere. A magnetosphere is the region of space surrounding an astronomical object in which charged particles are controlled by that object's magnetic field. The magnetic field near the surface of many astronomical objects resembles that of a dipole.
The Earthâs magnetic field is the magnetic field that surrounds the Earth. It is sometimes called the geomagnetic field. The Earthâs magnetic field is created by the rotation of the Earth and Earth's core.It shields the Earth against harmful particles in space. The field is unstable and has changed often in the history of the Earth. The magnetic field creates magnetic poles that are near the geographical poles.he Earthâs magnetic field is created by the rotation of the Earth and Earth's core.
