I'm having difficulty setting up an intersection for analysis that includes u-turns and overlap rights. The eastbound approach includes dual left turn lanes with protected phasing (phase 5, thru lane is phase 2). The southbound approach includes a right turn lane with overlap phasing (phase 5, thru lane phase 8).
If I code the left turn lanes I get a conflict error if I use protected (phase 5) for both left turn lanes (protected u-turn conflicts with overlap right).
If is use protected for the exclusive left and use permitted for the u-turn, Syncro changes the phase from 5 to 2. This is not correct. If I then change the phase back to 5, the turn type changes to custom and the conflict remains.
Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

by the MUTCD left turn U-turns must yield to an overlap right signal.

Thanks for the response. I agree, but how do you code this in Syncro. The software shows a conflict between the u-turn and the overlap. Are the results of the analysis correct with the conflict showing?

Does anyone know how to code uturns and right turn overlaps without getting a conflict in Synchro 6? I think it may have something to do with coding the uturn as "NA" but im not sure???

Help!
