The present report is a brief review of this topic. We have located no research that indicates that a “U-turn permitted” treatment would be irresponsible. However, our opinion is that a change to South Australian practice would have a degree of danger, because drivers here are accustomed to U-turns being prohibited at traffic signals, and sufficiently strong arguments in favour of permitting U-turns are not known to us. Note that the literature review component of this project was completed in 2005. | | Report Number | CASR017 | | Publisher | Centre for Automotive Safety Research | | Publisher City | Adelaide | | Sponsor | Department for Transport, Energy and Infrastructure (SA) | | ISBN | 9781920947163 | | ISSN | 1449-2237 | | Page Count | 17 |
