Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways: Highway 16 Restricted Crossing U-Turn Intersection
In partnership with Associated Engineering
Canada’s first restricted crossing U-turn (RCUT) intersection is on Highway 16 near Saskatoon. It has improved safety on a four-lane divided highway where a two-way, stop-controlled junction with a busy commuter route had seen many serious and fatal collisions. Following an in-service safety review and extensive options analysis, an RCUT was recommended to reduce right-angle collisions. The new design eliminates serious conflicts by replacing minor road straight-through and left-turn movements with a combination of right turns and U-turns; it also replaces one left-turn movement from Highway 16 with a U-turn and right turn. The novel project required extensive technical evaluation, stakeholder engagement and driver education, and has significantly improved safety by reducing the estimated number of right-angle intersection conflicts by 96.4%, from 91,000 to 3,200 each year.
