14.7.5 Safety
DLT intersections provide safety benefits due to the reduction of conflict points within the intersection. Safety issues to consider with displaced left-turn intersections include:

- Potential for wrong-way movements; and
- Potential impact on emergency vehicle response times in the event that the intersection is blocked or there has been a loss of power to the signal.
