One solution to reduce delay is to put the left-turning traffic on a loop ramp to access the cross street instead of turning left at a traditional intersection. The loop ramp design is a practical solution if sufficient right of way is available. The loop design changes a potential stop at the intersection into a merge or yield movement.
