N2  - One of the most common types of traffic accidents involves vehicles turning right from a major road across the path of on-coming traffic. They usually result from misjudgement by the turning driver of the available time gap. The situation is particularly hazardous if the turn-off is located on a large radius curved section of the major road, when the turning driver is on the outer side of the curvature. This situation is analysed in this note. The derivation of a formula for the calculation of the distortion in the estimated speed of the on-coming traffic is also presented.     <p>Language: en</p>
