Making Left Turns Illegal Could Solve Traffic Problems, Researchers Say

New research might have discovered a simpler way to navigate traffic!  A recent study at Penn State found it might be better if we just made most left turns illegal. Researchers used multiple algorithms to figure out the best way to keep traffic flowing and prevent accidents.  Simulations found that traffic would move smoother if we banned those turns at more intersections.   It depends on the city you’re in though.  The most efficient setups ban the turns near the middle of metropolitan areas, and only allows them as you get farther away from the busy city streets.
