The present invention relates to a stretched intersection and a signal warning system. One embodiment of the present invention controls the through traffic through an up-stream section signal means. One embodiment of a traffic intersection lane and signal system for improving intersection capacity and safety. Through traffic is stopped by signal means a distance away from the intersection. Turning traffic on turn lanes and have an option to proceed and queue on lane segments respectively, then complete the turning maneuvers. The through traffic released from signal means arrives at the intersection at the time opposing left turn phase expires and through phase starts, and passes through the intersection without significant delay. A set of detectors and signal means located before the presignal help drivers to make stop decisions, and another set of detectors and signal means located before the intersection provide last second warning to drivers who ran the red light at the presignal.
