Understanding Drivers' Lane Choice Behavior at Pre-Signalized Intersections: Examining Implications for Efficiency and Applicability of Pre-Signal Use for Regular Traffic

In the face of urbanization and limited space, traffic management grapples with challenges, especially heavy left-turn volumes at signalized intersections. The pre-signal strategy, proposed by Li et al. (2014), emerges as a promising solution. It involves an additional traffic light upstream of the main intersection, creating a "sorted area"...

An alternative design for traffic intersections with work zones by using pre-signals

The lane closures caused by the work zone at the approaches create a negative impact on the operational effectiveness of the signalized intersections. This paper presents an innovative design for intersections with work zones to improve the intersection’s practical capacity. In this design, the lanes in the leg with work zone can be used...
