🚧 Junction Routes
There are three types of route a vehicle can take across a junction:
Unprotected turn
Permissive turn
Protected turn
Unprotected turns
The driver has priority over other traffic, but there is a risk of collision.
(todo: diagram)
Permissive turns
The driver can enter the junction, but must yield to other traffic.
(todo: diagram)
In reality this is still an unprotected turn, because there's still a risk of collision. However, the driver has to yield to other traffic, reducing that risk.
Protected turns
The driver must stop and wait for the lights to change before they can enter the junction.
(todo: diagram)
Protected turns are the safest, because they ensure dedicated passage for the vehicle when it crosses the junction.
