LADOTD: The economics of street design
Sales data surrounding completed J-turn projects is analyzed in
Economic Effect of Restricted Crossing U-Turn Intersections in Louisiana, a report from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. Louisiana has replaced many left-turn intersections with J-turn designs since they have been proven safer, but there has been resistance from businesses located near planned J-turns because of potential loss of business due to a perceived reduced ease of access for customers. This report seeks to alleviate this resistance.
