- Safety – we restrict right-hand turn access in order to keep the road as safe as possible and avoid cars crossing multiple lanes of traffic. ‘Left-in’ and ‘left-out only’ is safer and ensures traffic keeps moving.
- Reducing the number of right-hand turns across multiple lanes of traffic also reduces the chance of side impact collisions (often called ‘T-bones’).
- Reduces the risk of drivers trying to find small breaks in traffic to complete a right turn.
- Improved Traffic Flow – by controlling where cars can turn right, congestion is reduced by avoiding cars from ‘queueing’ behind a car turning right, which thereby improves traffic flow.
