Dynamic Flashing Yellow Arrow Phase Mode Selection

Status:  Complete
Report Date:  01/15/2025

Summary:

This project focused on utilizing high-resolution signal data, crash data, and volume data to analyze safety impacts associated with the three left-turn phasing modes that flashing yellow arrows could operate in and determine when the various modes should operate. The three modes were as follows: • Protected only. • Protected-permissive. • Permissive only. The project team needed to analyze the data in two different methods to better understand the results. The analysis was completed for 9 scenarios with different combinations of: • Speed (Low / High) • Lateral Offset (Positive / Negative) • Left-Turn Lane (Single / Dual) The result of this project was a methodology that could be used for future analysis and incorporation of safety data into FYA operations decisions. No specific updates were made to the existing FYA phase mode decision spreadsheet.
