Design Controls 17 very low. None of the measurements were taken at regional shopping centers or other similar large urban activity centers. At a point 25 feet in advance of the near edge of the driveway, 90% of drivers about to turn right had decelerated to between 15.5 and 18.0 mph or less. Only 10% of drivers turning left had measured speeds of more than 10.0 to 13.0 mph when their vehicles were one lane away from the driveway end. At approximately the position at which the rear bumper had cleared the road- way, 90th percentile speeds ranged from 7.0 to 13.9 mph. References 3-1. AASHTO.
