Wow, check this out. Probably quite expensive. Pretty interesting.

 

A new intersection design eliminates the dreaded left turn into traffic

Anyone who has ever made a left turn in a busy intersection understands that it can be a stressful maneuver. Not only do you have to wait impatiently for a break in the stream of cars coming the opposite direction, you often hold up a line of traffic, and even risk getting into a collision if other drivers aren’t following the rules of the road.

 

But despite how standard it may seem to turn left into traffic, that's actually not an inevitable part of driving. There's an intersection design that could save you all that trouble.

 

The “diverging diamond interchange” creates designated ramps that gradually direct cars to veer left or right, without ever requiring them to cross in front of ongoing traffic.

That is HONOR, and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it. -Author unknown-
