Abstract:

The state of Maryland has implemented a series of Restricted Crossing U-Turn, or RCUT, intersections along US 15 in the towns of Frederick and Emmitsburg in Frederick County. In 2009, average annual daily traffic (AADT) along that stretch of US 15 ranged from about 45,000 vehicles per day near Frederick down to about 20,000 vehicles per day near the Pennsylvania border. Built in the late 1980s and early 1990s, these RCUT intersections, which are also called J-Turns, are a cost-effective way to reduce angle collisions and still provide connectivity at minor roads that intersect multi-lane, divided highways. In a 3-year period before conversion, over 250 injury crashes and 10 fatal crashes occurred at these intersections.
