Abstract
INDOT has begun utilizing an innovative intersection improvement to alleviate safety issues on rural divided highways. Restriction of the median crossing from side roads on a divided highway reduces the conflict points or opportunities for vehicular incidents. We will discuss the application, safety improvements, and design considerations for this type of intersection.
