Abstract
Restricted access U-turn (RCUT) and J-turn intersections are fairly new to Indiana. In the state system, four constructed J-turns have been in service for at least a year. This presentation will report on their effectiveness in crash reduction as well as address common fears and misconceptions about traffic diversion and their use by trucks. We will also speak on the public reception of a J-turn in the LaPorte District.
