      The author identifies sub-thresholds for finite time shock formation in a class of non-local conservation law with concavity changing flux. From a class of non-local conservation laws, the Riccati-type ODE system, that governs a solution's gradient, is obtained. The changes in concavity of the flux function correspond to the sign changes in the leading coefficient functions of the ODE system. A blow up condition of this structurally generalized Riccati-type ODE is identified. The method is illustrated via the traffic flow models with nonlocal-concave-convex flux. The techniques and ideas developed in this paper are applicable to a large class of non-local conservation laws.
