- Authored by: Wei Zhang , Dr. Joe G Bared
- Event: 2010 National Conference on Access Management
Topics
New Jersey Jughandle Intersection (NJJI)
Displaced Left Turn Intersection (DLF)
Median U-Turn Intersection (MUT)
- Restricted Crossing U-Turn Intersection (RCUT)
Summary
- All unconventional intersection designs are conceived to take advantage of the local traffic pattern
- Their main design objectives are to improve LOS of critical movements, maintain or improve overall safety at main intersection, and generate tolerable delays to non-critical movements
- Ped/bike traffic are considered in the designs
- Local business without shared parking and driveway may be negatively affected
- Shopping centers with ample parking and consolidated driveway will attract more traffic and benefit
