These are locations where significant capacity limitations occur due to the intersection of vehicle streams traveling in different directions.The article presents the current legal status regarding the use of a signal allowing a turn maneuver at an intersection in the direction indicated by an arrow. Subsequently, the results of observations and an assessment of traffic conditions for right-turn movements conducted at selected intersections in Katowice are presented. The obtained results were also compared with the theoretical situation of the absence of an S-2 signal for the turning movement.ESTIMATION OF THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS WHEN USING A GREEN SIGNAL ALLOWING TURNING ON A RED LIGHT ON SELECTED INTERSECTIONS WITH TRAFFIC LIGHTS IN KATOWICEThe road nodes create most of the bottlenecks within any transportation system network of any town or city. These are the locations with the capacity limitations caused by the traffic flows coming from different directions.The article deals with the current legal state of how to apply a green signal (“green arrow”) allowing the drivers to make a turn on a red light on the intersections with traffic lights. The results of such observation as well as an estimation of the traffic conditions of the right turn on selected intersections with traffic lights in Katowice have been presented. The results have been also compared with a theoretical situation when there is no right turn signal on the red light on the intersection. (…)
