The two-way two-way left turn lane permits continuous use of the through lanes with no intermittent delays for turning vehicles. While it may appear to be a hazardous device, the two-way left turn lane has been used in nearly all states for the past four years with a commendable record in safe traffic control. It is well to remember that turns may be executed within, and that movements are permitted per-mitted across, the two-way left turn lane, but that continuous travel parallel to traffic within a two-way left turn lane is prohibited. - - |
