CMF ID: 9668

Changing left turn phasing from protected-permissive to flashing yellow arrow (FYA)

Description: CMFs are calculated the intersection level and not the treated approach(es) level.

Prior Condition:  Protected-permissive operation with circular green indication for the permissive

Category: Intersection traffic control

Comments: The number of crashes in the after period were not reported in this study, however, they have been recorded as 300 to give 10 points as a beneift of doubt for one or more of the following: (1) number of miles/sites in the reference/treatment group, (2) number of crashes in the references/treatment group, (3) reporting AADTs for the aggregate dataset but not for the disaggragate dataset used for CMF development.
