Except going slower means you can stop faster, and considerably more so than the linear progression of time. So really the undue burden must be on people going straight through the intersection at the speed limit.

However, GHM’s solution is limited to vehicles traveling through level intersections at constant velocity, which does not include vehicle deceleration to execute safe turning maneuvers. This article presents a brief review covering GHM’s original solution and Mats Järlström’s extended kinematic equation which allows for vehicle deceleration and turning maneuvers."
