Evaluating the Operational Impact of Left-Turn Exclusive Number of Lanes: A Case Study from Qatar
(
Qatar Univesrity Press
, 2020 , Conference Paper)
Left-turning movements can significantly reduce the overall capacity of signalized
intersections due to the queueing built up. Intersections with heavy left-turning volumes
tend to use multiple lanes to accommodate left-turn ...
