14.9 Quadrant Roadway Intersections
A quadrant roadway (QR) intersection displaces left-turns to a quarter-arc “quadrant roadway” in one of the intersection’s quadrants as shown in
. The primary benefit of a QR intersection is a reduction in traffic signal phases and conflict points, resulting in improved intersection operations. More information on QR intersections can be found in the
, published by the FHWA.
