The right turn above and its safety relates to centripetal force. The construction that was completed on the right was to increase the radius to increase the safety. The equation above is for centripetal force. With the equation, since the mass and velocity both are constant during the turns, increasing the radius decreases the centripetal force which allows for the cars to stay in circular motion while making the right turn and allows them to complete it safely.
