Abstract

Direct left turns from driveways onto busy, high-volume arterials were more frequently being considered for alternative left-turn measures such as right turns followed by U-turns. As such, the performance of direct left turns as compared to right turns followed by U-turns from safety perspectives were investigated. The findings of this study provided some useful insights on the continuation of the use of direct left turns into high-volume arterials.
