Simulating the Effect of Speed Humps on the U-Turn Traffic
Traffic simulation represents an effective tool for evaluating the suggested alternatives to enhance traffic conditions prior to their application in real sites. U-turn sections represent examples of the complicated sections that cannot be analyzed properly without applying microsimulation approach. Recently, in Iraq, speed humps were applied in prior to the merging locations and U-turn sectio...
متن کاملEvaluating the Operational Features of an Unconventional Dual-Bay U-Turn Design for Intersections
Median U-turn intersection treatment (MUTIT) has been considered an alternative measure to reduce congestion and traffic conflict at intersection areas. The MUTIT is sometimes difficult to implement in the field because it requires wide median on arterials for U-turn vehicles. The objective of this study is to introduce an unconventional U-turn treatment (UUT) for intersections which requires l...
متن کاملSafety Assessment of Installing Traffic Signals at High-Speed Expressway Intersections
This paper reports the status and preliminary results of an ongoing study investigating the safety benefit of signalizing intersections of high-speed (50 mph and greater) divided expressways. Before and after analysis was conducted and compared to empirical Bayesian (EB) techniques. A safety performance function was developed using negative binomial regression for a control group of 67 non-sign...
متن کاملSafety Effects of Protected Left-Turn Phasing at Signalized Intersections: An Empirical Analysis
Left-turn crashes occur frequently at signalized intersections and often lead to severe injuries. This problem can be addressed through the implementation of protected left-turn signals. This gives left-turning vehicles the right to enter the intersection free from conflict with opposing drivers and pedestrians. The present study analyses the effect of this measure on crash occurrence. The stud...
