Samenvatting

This paper reviews a limited investigation of 5 years of accident reports for 32 one-way intersections in New York. Left-turn accidents were found to be more than two times as frequent as right-turn accidents. Visual obstruction by the vehicle's front roof support is suspected as the significant factor causing this difference. Results of the study suggest that backing into crosswalks should be discouraged by traffic design and law enforcement.
