摘要: |
Right turn on red (RTOR) occurs when a vehicle completes a right turn at a signalized intersection when their approach is faced with a red traffic signal. RTOR is allowed at most signalized intersections in the United States after a vehicle has come to a complete stop at the stop bar, unless prohibited for reasons such as limited sight distance. Vehicles turning right on red must wait for an adequate opening in conflicting vehicle traffic (or pedestrian traffic, if present) in order to complete the turn. Accordingly, there exists a critical headway for every RTOR driver in which that driver would reject any headway less than their critical headway, and would accept any headway larger. RTOR can significantly increase the capacity of right-turn movements at signalized intersections, particularly at approaches with exclusive right turn lanes. |
