Abstract:Right‐turn slip lanes are advantageous to motorists because they reduce delays by separating right-turning traffic from adjacent lanes and accommodating higher‐speed right turns. The right-turn slip lane channelizing island may also provide a refuge area for crossing pedestrians, reducing their exposure by allowing them to cross the roadway in two stages. However, right‐turn slip lanes may encourage higher-than-intended vehicular speeds and create conflicts among motor traffic, pedestrians, and bicyclists. Accordingly, right-turn slip lane designs should create a balance between the safety and mobility of all roadway users.
