DOI: 10.1016/j.jsr.2020.04.013
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Due to their size and weight, trucks require more space and time to make left turns when exiting or entering a roadway. Therefore, appropriate median treatments are critical for roadways with substantial truck traffic.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtte.2017.11.002
Abstract: Abstract In urban or suburban areas with a large number of access points, four-lane undivided highways are prone to crashes due to left-turning and through movements in a single lane. Many studies recommended expensive countermeasures… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jtte.2018.01.005
Abstract: Abstract The most common type of intersection improvement considered in Ghana is signalization. However, other actions such as the installation of left-turn lanes have been proven to improve the efficiency and safety of an intersection… read more here.

DOI: 10.1049/iet-its.2018.5279
Abstract: The location of the U-turn median opening at signalised intersections can have important effects on the intersection performance. However, there has been very little prior work on this issue, especially on intersections with double left-turn… read more here.
