The report presents the results of analyses conducted to determine the effects of prohibiting of left-turns at intersections on two-way streets without turning bays. The principal focus of the project was the development of a delay-prediction tool to describe the effect of left turns on thru and right turn traffic. The required field measurements to calibrate NETSIM, the traffic simulation model, which was then used to generate results for a variety of traffic volumes, approach widths and other traffic variables. The report contains an assessment of the safety value of turn prohibitions as well as the best methods to control the prohibited turn under a variety of physical conditions.
