What to do?
Distribute volume among lanes to Identify lane utilization Determine need for lane
adjustment Estimate critical lane volumes
Lane volume allocation

Slide 3
Lane Volume Allocation Rules
All turning movements are placed in exclusive left or right turn lanes, if present
Through traffic is distributed evenly among through lanes
Right turns are equivalent to through movements, if no right turn lanes exist
Shared left and through lane requires special procedure

the same saturation flow rate The lane movement with the
highest volume to saturation flow ratio
LT protected The highest lane volume per phase
LT permitted The highest sum of TH or RT single

Critical Concepts to Note
Shared LT+TH lanes Use of left turn equivalents for
lane volume allocationLT phase impact on critical lane
volumesOverlapping phasing:
exception to the “highest volume is critical” rule
Every intersection is different in terms of which phase plan works best
