>>1423370These signalized intersections are considered for higher capacity than a roundabout, as alternative to main line grade separation. I suppose you are likely to dislike a signalized roundabout as well? Cuz that's what it would be compared with. Roundabouts don't
Other main reasons are network signal coordination, junction spacing, etc.
As much as a median u-turn might increasing crossing distance for a widened median, or disrupt bike lanes in general, roundabouts in this class will have further more difficulty at accommodating pedestrians and bicycles. Bicycles might be less worse, but eventually some form of signals will be needed at crosswalks. The median u-turn itself will benefit crossings compared to normal intersections. Fewer vehicles phases, less delay to all users.

>>1423448>or put in stoplights, lowering capacity significantly. No.... It's a common feature.
>Actually, I think a protected left turn might have a higher capacity than this.Look up the performance of a two-phase signal.
