Analysis of Operation and Safety Characteristicsof Lefi-Turn Lanes
Left-turn lanes at nonsignaiized intersections on two-lane interurban roads reduce the number of traffic interferences and increase the level of service for the through traffic. These improved conditions result from the opportunity turning vehicles have to decelerate and wait in a separate lane for a suitable crossing gap. Decreasing the number of interferences to through traffic reduces the nu...
متن کاملOffsetting Opposing Left-Turn Lanes at Signalized Intersections: A Safety Assessment Case Study in Lincoln, Nebraska
Opposing left-turning vehicles at signalized intersections block each others’ view of oncoming traffic. The ability to see oncoming traffic is critical for safe negotiation of left-turns at intersections during a permitted left-turn phase of the signal. Offsetting of opposing left-turn lanes at signalized intersections improves sight distance for left-turning motorists. This paper reports on a ...
متن کاملOperational Performance Comparison between Three Unconventional Intersection Designs: Left-turn Bypass, Diverging Flow and Displaced Left-turn
The intense exponential growth of the population in the United States and added vehicles to the roads has transportation planners working on solving the congestion issue. People have to travel longer distances and spend more time on the roads causing congestion of the current networks. Thus, the demand for new roadway and intersection design is a high priority, as wasted fuel and travel time in...
متن کاملTurn Right or Turn Left? Heuristic of A dhering to the Direction of Destination
Copy Summary: It has been found that humans not only tend to avoid the middle routes and prefer the peripheral routes among multiple choices, but also rely on the ‘initial segment strategy’ to select the route. In this paper, we propose a new heuristic which humans apply during route selection: Participants prefer the route whose initial direction lies in the direction of their final destinatio...
