When used <br />at intersections, they can be effective at requiring motorists <br />to make left-turn movements at a 90-degree angle, thereby <br />slowing vehicle speeds and improving motorists’ visibility of the <br />crosswalks across which they travel when turning. When used <br />along a roadway segment, they can be effective at generally <br />slowing vehicle speeds and preventing undesirable left-turning <br />and/or U-turns between intersections. <br />Cost $ <br />Low Cost / Quick Build alternative available <br /> <br />INTERSECTIONS & ROADWAYS <br />Increase <br />Attentiveness <br />and Awareness <br />SAFE SYSTEM HIERARCHY <br />Reduce Vehicle <br />Speeds <br />Centerline Hardening <br />Tier 1 Tier 2 Tier 3 Tier 4 <br />Other Reference Information <br />FHWA Pedestrian Safety Guide and Countermeasure Selection System. http://www. <br />pedbikesafe.org/PEDSAFE/countermeasures_detail.cfm?CM_NUM=24 <br />Modifies the corner of an intersection to remove the sweeping <br />right turn lane for vehicles.
