Loop Ramps Reducing Left Turns
Target Market The use of loop ramps for left-turning movements should be considered at locations where high left-turn volumes and sufficient right of way exist (or can be acquired). Examples include freeway entrance/exit ramp intersections and major intersections with heavy left-turn volumes. How Will This Help? Chapter 22 of the Highway Capacity Manual1 was used […]
