Left-turn Restrictions
Left-turn Restrictions
(OP)
Can someone point me to a good reference for how far from the center of an intersection c-curbing should be installed to do a reasonable job of discouraging/preventing left-turns. My particular application is at the intersection of two streets. I haven't been able to find any guidelines on this from any transportation departments, etc.

RE: Left-turn Restrictions
I'm not getting from your description exactly what you are trying to accomplish. Are you trying to restrict left turns on the intersection approaches or within the intersection? The latter generally requires something other than a conventional intersection design.

There is a existing minor residential street (currently a dead-end) that will connect to a new minor arterial. We are being required to prevent vehicles from the residential street from turning left onto the new arterial.

What about emergency vehicles, school busses and deliveries?
