Florida T
n.— «The second alternative is a configuration known as a “Florida T.” A “Florida T” would channel traffic so that northbound through traffic on Capitol Trail would move continuously and would not be controlled by a traffic signal. By doing this, one of the northbound through lanes would be designated as a left-turn lane thereby creating two, left-turn lanes onto Cleveland Avenue. However, this would eliminate left turns and straight through traffic from Woodlawn Avenue.» —“Traffic Committee Meeting” City of Newark Traffic Committee Meeting (Newark, Delaware) Jan. 17, 2006.
