Actually, it's not "*almost *counter-intuitive." I can understand how
bigger loops will make the hey easier...but I'm mystified as to how larger
loops can make heys faster.
More heys get jammed up and create late ending by the oncoming traffic not
being able to pass freely. A sufficient loop on the end is one of the
things that allows the traffic to maintain momentum and complete the move
on time. Other conditions can also create traffic problems as well. The
rule of the Golden Mean applies here, I think,...too wide, and you are
late, too small and the people who have to stop or go around you are late.
