Dec 11, 2023 · Improved safety: Channelizing left-turn vehicles from the side street reduces the potential for angle crashes; Increased efficiency: One direction of travel on the major street is free-flow, and, as a result, more green time can be provided to the other movements, reducing delay

Nov 20, 2020 · Why does the CGT on the left have no side indicators, while the one on the right has? I believe it’s because the first photo is a Euro spec car, and the right is an American spec car (I may have flipped the two but I know that one of them the side blinker/reflector is required and the other isn’t). It’s as simple as that regulation.

A CGT is an effective design for a three-sided intersection with high traffic volumes on the main road and moderate-to-low traffic volumes on the connecting side street. Benefits Safety —CGTs channel left-turning vehicles on the side street, which reduces the potential for angled crashes.

What is a CGT? Intersection design where one major street direction of travel (the top side of the “T”) can pass through the intersection without stopping and the opposite major street direction of travel is typically controlled by a traffic signal Left-turn vehicles from the side street use a channelized receiving

A Continuous Green T (CGT) intersection, also known as a Green T intersection, is a type of 3-leg intersection in which one direction of mainline traffic (opposite to the side street approach) does not have to stop.

To turn left from the side street, use the channelized lane to merge onto the major street Ǧ Depending on their level of comfort, cyclists may navigate the intersection using vehicle or pedestrian paths

A jug-handle is a type of ramp or slip road that changes the way traffic turns left at an at-grade intersection. Instead of a standard left turn being made at the intersection from the left lane, left-turning traffic uses a ramp or slip road on the right side of the road.

consider the CGT at intersections with three approaches, moderate-to-low left-turn volumes from the cross-street, and high arterial through volumes. Objective The following case study showcases two rural intersections in Colorado where the signal-controlled through lane on the flat side (top) of a T-intersection was converted to a CGT.

Among the many alternative intersection designs in use today is the Continuous Green T-Intersection (CGT). A 2016 FHWA study (see Related Research) showed that the safety of CGTs compares favorably with that of conventional T-intersections.

Sep 22, 2023 · This study proposes a new design called the continuous green-T median U-turn (CGT-MUT) interchange and evaluates its operational performance compared to three interchanges.
