They work best in situations where traffic volumes are moderate and where the proportion of vehicles turning left is high. Discourage the use of TWLTLs in rural areas as their use in high speed, low volume situations can increase head-on crashes. Also, avoid them in urban areas where the design year traffic is expected to grow beyond 17,500 AADT.
