A separate turn phase is often used on the approach leg to an intersections with heavy left turns.
For I + F, the crash reduction factors were 29%, 15 % and 21 for improving signal visibility, left turn phase improvement and left turn lane installation, respectively.
This enhanced the edge pressure profile at the shovel tip as revealed during bench tests in the lab, thus improving the handling during the turn phase as perceived in the field by expert testers.
Taken together, these aspects turn phase I and II research into scientifically challenging studies (in contrast to more clinically challenging phase III studies; see box).

The long time required to collect crash data to evaluate the use of existing warrants render them frequently ineffective and the need for a preliminary design tool to assist in left turn phasing decisions is needed.
The statistics comparing the two course settings with regard to parameter differences over specific turn phases are presented in table 2. Regarding vCOM, a large effect for a lower phase average was observed during Completion on the 26/12 m course.
Based on these five characteristic points of the COM line and ski line, turns were divided into four turn phases and their percentages during the whole turn cycle were calculated: Initiation (a→b), COM Direction Change I (b→c), COM Direction Change II (c→d) and Completion (d→e) (figure 2).
Regression models were developed from optimization results that allow the analyst to make the decision on protected left-turn phase installation using the basic input data of signal timing design without the need to perform field measurements.
The research embodied in this paper presents a new approach for the development of guidelines for the installation of a protected left-turn phase at signalized intersections when permissive-only left-turn operation is present.
A separate left-turn phase wastes the capacity of intersection, because all the lanes on the approach are not fully utilized during either the left-turn or through green phase.
During the turning phase, fallers took significantly longer turning time with smaller turning angular velocity than non-fallers.
