10.2.3.5 Restricted Crossing U-Turn (RCUT)

This alternative intersection can either have traffic signals or be stop controlled. RCUTs have directional medians to force minor street through and left-turning traffic to make a right-turn and then a U-turn on the major street to complete their maneuvers. When analyzing operations or safety of an RCUT intersection, the analysis typically includes the core intersection as well as the satellite intersections. See for the basic features of an RCUT intersection.
