    Abstract

    During the unprotected left-turn green at a four-leg intersection on a divided highway, the left-turner's view frequently is blocked by vehicles in the opposing left-turn lane. This feature evaluates the effect of opposite larger-size vehicles and provides guidelines for an offsetting left-turn lane method to satisfy required sight distances for different major road design speeds.
