a(n) = number of ways that a curve can start in the (-,-) quadrant, cross two parallel lines and end up in the (+,+) or (+,-) quadrant if n is even or head East between the two roads if n is odd.
A107321 is a lower bound. - R. J. Mathar, May 06 2006
It appears that for odd n, A076876(n) = A005316(n+1). And for even n, A076876(n) >= A005316(n+1). - Robert Price, Jul 27 2013.

Examples

			Let b(n) = A005316(n). Then a(0) = b(0), a(1) = b(1), a(2) = b(1) + b(2), a(3) = b(3) + b(2), a(4) = b(4) + 2*b(3) + 1, a(5) = b(5) + b(3)*b(2) + b(4) + 1.
Consider n=5: if we do not cross the second road there are b(5) = 8 solutions. If we cross the first road 3 times and then the second road twice there are b(3)*b(2) = 2 solutions. If we cross the first road once and the second road 4 times there are b(4) = 3 solutions. The only other possibility is to cross road 1, road 2 twice, road 1 twice and exit to the right.
For larger n it is convenient to give the vector of the number of times the same road is crossed. For example for n=6 the vectors and the numbers of possibilities are as follows:
[6] ...... 14
[5 1] ..... 8
[3 3] ..... 4
[3 2 1] ... 2
[1 5] ..... 8
[1 4 1] ... 3
[1 2 3] ... 2
[1 2 2 1] . 2
Total .... 43
