| Abstract | The State of Texas in the United States deploys protected/permissive left-turn control at selected intersections throughout the state to avoid unnecessary delays for left-turning vehicles at these intersections. The choice between protected only and protected/permissive left-turn controls depends on how traffic operations engineers balance operational efficiency and safety at a particular intersection. When protected/permissive left-turn control is used at an intersection, there are a variety of left-turn signal phasing schemes to use. While motorists are generally in favor of having protected/permissive left-turn control, the traffic engineering community has been concerned with the overall safety of deploying protected/permissive left-turn control at some intersections. Despite decades of research, there are no widely accepted guidelines for engineers to choose between protected only and protected/permissive left-turn controls. In addition, there exist no uniform guidelines about the selection of the most appropriate left-turn phasing schemes for a given intersection in Texas. Policy and practices about left-turn operations vary from one region to another in Texas. Furthermore, within regions with multiple jurisdictions, different practices exist from one jurisdiction to another. This lack of consistency is confusing to drivers and may result in a greater number of crashes related to left-turn operations. After a thorough review of related work, this study presents a framework for developing left-turn operations guidelines at signalized intersections in Texas. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
