The determination of the level-of-service (LOS) at signalized intersections is an important activity for decision-making in the allocation of resources for managing public roads, estimating the impact of new developments, and designing signal timing plans. There is a need to develop models of right-turn-on-red (RTOR) volume to permit users of the Highway Capacity Manual methodology to estimate the RTOR rather than rely on collection of field data, which often does not include RTOR as a separate quantity.

NCHRP Web-Only Document 368: Right-Turn-on-Red Operation at Signalized Intersections with Single and Dual Right-Turn Lanes: Evaluating Performance, from TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program, addresses these needs through the development of models for RTOR volume prediction and the development of improved guidance for whether to allow RTOR.

The document is supplemental to NCHRP Research Report 1068: Right-Turn-on-Red Site Considerations and Capacity Analysis: Practitioner's Guide.
