NCDOT expands the number of dynamic left turn intersections in North Carolina

A Dynamic Left Turn intersection (DLTi) approach treatment allows some intersections with two left turn lanes to operate more efficiently during off-peak periods, by closing one of the left turn lanes and enabling the display of flashing yellow arrows during those times. America’s first dynamic left turn intersection opened on February 14, 2020 at the Tryon Road/Cary Parkway intersection in Cary.

Earlier this month, NCDOT and contractors installed a dynamic left turn intersection approach in Apex, for northbound Kelly Road traffic at the US 64 eastbound ramps. Learn more about dynamic left turn intersection approaches and the new DLTi location in Apex in this week’s blog.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Let’s get moving,

Joe
