Abstract:

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) organized 26 states

to participate in the FHWA Low-Cost Safety Improvements Pooled

Fund Study as part of its strategic highway safety plan support

effort. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety effectiveness

of several low-cost safety improvement strategies through

scientifically rigorous crash-based studies. One of the strategies

evaluated for this study was the installation of center two-way leftturn

lanes (TWLTLs) on two-lane roads. This strategy is intended

to reduce the frequency of head-on crashes and rear-end crashes

involving a turning vehicle. The safety effectiveness of this strategy

has not been thoroughly documented previously; therefore, this

study is an attempt to provide an evaluation of TWLTLs through

scientifically rigorous procedures.
