Comments:CMFs of left-turn opposing through crashes on signalized intersections, including roadway with roadway and interchange related intersections. Left-turn opposing through crashes involve one vehicle turning left from one approach and one vehicle going through the intersection from the opposite approach. Applies to approaches with dedicated left turn lanes and PPLT phasing before and after. Nearby intersections had supplemental sign "Left Turn Yield on Flashing Yellow Arrow" mounted on mast arm.
