CMF ID: 8431

Improve angle of channelized right turn lane

Description: Changes made to the study approaches include: sharpening the flat approach angle typical in traditional designs, reducing the radius, adjusting the stop bar position, and modifying the corner island to increase the line of sight of approaching through traffic.

Prior Condition:  Varied depending on intersection

Category: Intersection geometry
