During peak hours, increased traffic on major arterials can create conflicts when motorists attempt to make left turns in and out of businesses. Studies suggest that making a right turn upon departure and then safely turning left can be a safer way to proceed in the desired direction. By avoiding unnecessary risks, planning trips, and taking alternative routes, motorists can help reduce traffic crashes and improve overall traffic flow.
