14.6.8 Traffic Control Devices

RCUT intersections require clear traffic control devices to guide drivers through the intersection. The four main objectives of traffic control devices in RCUT intersections are:
  • Provide signage and pavement markings to prohibit left-turns and alternative routing of left-turn movements;
  • Provide one-way and wrong-way signage;
  • Provide a means for safe bicycle and pedestrian crossings; and
  • Provide appropriate safety lighting at conflict points.
Refer to the
FHWA Restricted Crossing U-Turn Intersection Informational Guide
for further guidance on traffic control devices. The
TMUTCD
remains the primary source for traffic control device standards.
