Professional expertise holds no sway on TOTV.

Thanks for your answer. Having spent $100,000's on Traffic Studies, I have a pretty good clue how it all works, which is why I asked about Queues and what the US Highway Safety Manual says about such intersections and how they're supposed to work.


Whatever you do, stay away from LOS, Queue times, turning radii and the rest of it. You'll be pummeled by someone who learned traffic engineering behind the wheel of a '75 Honda Accord.
