Signalized Restricted Crossing (RCUT), or Superstreet An intersection design that restricts left-turn and through movements from side street approaches as permitted in conventional designs. Left-turns and through movements from the minor street are required to turn right onto the main road and then make a U-turn maneuver at a one-way, signalized median opening 400 to 1,000 feet after the intersection. The major street effectively operates as a pair of one-way streets because no movement ever crosses both directions of the major street at once. Pedestrian crossings of the major road at the RCUT intersection are usually accommodated on one diagonal “Z” path from one corner to the opposite corner, and each crossing is signalized. Ride on street in travel lane or bicycle lane (if available), unless multi-use path is present. Side street through and left turn movements can use pedestrian crossings to avoid use of U-turn movements CAP-X (planning level) Synchro, SimTraffic VISSIM or similar microsimulation software Unsignalized Restricted Crossing (RCUT), or J-Turn Left-turns and through movements from the minor street are required to turn right onto the main road and then make a U-turn maneuver at a one-way, stop-controlled median opening 400 to 1,000 feet after the intersection. Unsignalized RCUTs are usually located in rural areas and do not have pedestrian facilities. Unsignalized RCUTs are usually located in rural areas and do not have bicycle facilities. Direct crossings from minor street to minor street can be facilitated with a cut-through in the median island.
