    This category allows you to view and edit the splitter island envelope offsets.

    Design Guidelines' Splitter Island Envelope Category Dialog Box

    In the dialog box, move the mouse pointer over the controls to view the associated tooltip and then reference the controls described below.

    Note: For the purposes of describing the software, it is assumed that Right-Hand Traffic is selected under Traffic Direction in Design Guidelines' General Category. If Left-Hand Traffic is selected, the descriptions with references to a right/left turn path should be interpreted in the opposite direction.

    Default Splitter Type (Turbo Vehicle Envelopes Design Method)

    Select the type of splitter that will draw by default when legs are added to the turbo roundabout.

    Default Median Width (Turbo Vehicle Envelopes Design Method)

    Specify the median width value. This value is only available for the Entry/Exit Straight option.

    Inscribed Circle to Splitter Island Envelope Offset (Vehicle Envelopes Design Method)

    Construction Line to Splitter Island Envelope Offset (Turbo Vehicle Envelopes Design Method)

    Specify the inscribed circle to splitter island envelope offset value. This is the distance from the inscribed circle diameter (Turbo: outside circulating lane's outer construction line) to the closest point of the splitter island envelope.

    Entry Lane to Splitter Island Envelope Offset

    Specify the entry lane to splitter island envelope offset value. This is the distance from the closest tire track of the vehicle to the splitter island envelope on the entry side.

    Exit Lane to Splitter Island Envelope Offset

    Specify the exit lane to splitter island envelope offset value. This is the distance from the closest tire track of the vehicle to the splitter island envelope on the exit side.

    Splitter Island Envelope Length

    Specify the splitter island envelope length value. This is the distance from the splitter island envelope edge closest to the roundabout to the outside edge.
