This sounds like a good idea until you're running late for work and have to make three rights . . .
A professor of civil engineering at Penn State thinks we should ban LEFT TURNS at more intersections around the country. He says they're more dangerous than most people realize.
Around 40% of all crashes happen at intersections, and over 60% of those crashes involve someone making a left.
Half of them involve a serious injury, and one in five involve a fatality. So he says banning left turns at busy intersections would save a lot of lives.
Another reason to do it is they make intersections less efficient. Green arrows make left turns safer, but then everyone else at the intersection has to wait just so a few cars can turn left.
He thinks more cities should make left turns illegal, at least during rush hour. It would save lives, and maybe get you to work a little faster.
