Abstract

In recent years, many traffic engineers have advocated converting four-lane undivided urban streets to three-lane two-way left-turn facilities. A number of these conversions have been successfully implemented. Accident rates have decreased while corridor and intersection levels of service remained acceptable. This conversion concept is yet another viable alternative "tool" to place in our urban safety/congestion toolbox.
