An example of mitigation would be providing an auxiliary lane to remove driveway turning traffic from the through traffic lanes on an arterial. As noted in the AASHTO Green Book (4-5, p.729)

20 Guide for the Geometric Design of Driveways Exhibit 4-3. Driveways too close to roadway intersections allow more conflicts to occur.

From page 21... ...
• Ideally, driveway access for a major development involving left-turn egress movements should be located where effective coordination of traffic signals would be achievable if there is a need to signalize the driveway. • Driveway connections to public roadways are subject to the same intersection control device analyses as are street intersections.
|
From page 22... ...
The same criteria for signal spacing apply to both a signalized driveway and a signalized public roadway intersection. If a driveway is going to be signalized, then it should be located to "fit" into the traffic signal progression along an arterial roadway and not interfere with the progression of traffic from one signalized intersection to the next.
