This study deals with the Right-Turn Bypass Lane in Roundabout. The purpose of the study is to comparatively analysis the effectiveness questions on the installation of right-turn bypass lane in roundabout. In pursuing the above, this study analyzed after and before of the right turn bypass lane plan by VISSIM software. The right turn bypass lane is formed by control type of yield and control type of joint were compared and analyzed the effects of the operation. The main results analyzed are as follows. First, after Right-Turn Bypass Lane is Installed, the traffic volume rate of the right-turn increasing by average delay time per vehicle is on the gradual decrease, maximum average about 28% with the fact that decreases. Second, control type of yield and control type of joint are both average delay time per vehicle decreasing by the traffic volume rate of the right-turn is on the gradual increase. Control type of joint was analyzed with the fact that has the maximum average about 18% delay decrement efficiency.
