Summary:

This document describes research conducted by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to support guidance on the signing and marking of displaced left turn lane intersections (DLT) also known as continuous flow intersections (CFI). The DLT is an at grade intersection that is intended to support high traffic flow where there is a large volume of left turns and heavy through volumes. Its design permits the use of two or three phase traffic signals at the junction of two roads, while still providing at grade protected left turn movements.
