IRC: SP: 87-2013 Which Mention A: Salient-Findings and Conclusions

The document summarizes a thesis that studied the effect of right-turning vehicles on through traffic discharge at signalized intersections. It developed a methodology involving literature review, traffic surveys, and analysis of relationships between factors like right-turning discharge and queue length. The study concluded that the equivalency factor between right-turning and straight discharge varies with total discharge. It also determined thresholds for when to segregate right-turning lanes based on volume-to-capacity ratios and percentage of right-turning vehicles. Design charts were created to help determine when segregation of right-turning lanes is needed.
