This research provides a comprehensive review and assessment of current ‘alternative intersection’ methods which successfully eliminate the left-turn phase. With increasing traffic and limited resources, the Florida Department of Transportation moves forward with a vision of optimizing intersection control through the implementation of innovative intersection designs through the Transportation Systems Management & Operations (TSM&O) program. Because of the specific interest in the integration of alternative intersection treatments within the State of Florida, this research assessed the operational benefits, challenges, evaluated the safety implications for bicycles and pedestrians through the alternative intersection methods, and quantified driver confusion opportunities, maintenance impacts, and comparative cost control measures for benefit-to-cost ratio development.
