Safety Evaluation of Corner Clearance at Signalized Intersections

APPENDIX. EXAMPLE INTERSECTIONS

This appendix presents photos of intersections used in this study. Figure 14 displays a street-level view of a signalized intersection with limited corner clearance on a mainline approach corner. Figure 15 displays a street-level view of a signalized intersection with limited corner clearance on a mainline receiving corner. Figure 16 displays an aerial view of a signalized intersection with limited corner clearance on all mainline corners. Figure 17 displays an aerial view of a signalized intersection with unrestricted corner clearance on all mainline corners.

Aerial view of a four-leg urban intersection. The mainline, El Camino Real, is a six-lane median-divided roadway and the cross street, Kiely Boulevard/Bowers Avenue, is a four-lane roadway. Immediately before the intersection on the mainline approach corner, there is a driveway entrance on the right with limited corner clearance due to its proximity to the intersection.

Aerial view of a four-leg urban intersection. The mainline, El Camino Real, is a six-lane median-divided roadway and the cross street, Halford Avenue, is a four-lane roadway. Immediately after the intersection on the mainline receiving corner, there is a driveway entrance on the right with limited corner clearance due to its proximity to the intersection.

Aerial view of an intersection with no driveway entrances in the functional area of the intersection. There are driveways leading to parking lots visible in the image, but they are farther away from the intersection.
