My simulation network has median openings for left and u-turning traffic that cross and merge into high speed traffic (55Mph) and the simulation allows these turns only when the traffic is queued along the main line as I allowed this median opening traffic to enter blocked intersection.

In reality this median opening traffic merges and crosses the oncoming traffic finding suitable gaps. Inorder to attain this I need to do platooning of the traffic on the mainline. How can we acheive this? Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are there any upstream signals. If there are, adding those will help creating platoons.

Along with the suggestion from Tejas, are the lane paths as you would like them? Go to Options>Map-Settings in Synchro and check the box to show Intersection Paths. If you have the U-turn enter the left most (L-NA) then you might find more gaps.

Also check turn speeds for the U-turns.

Thanks,

John.
