StarStarStarStar

Cloverleaf Intersection

StarStarStarStar

An interchange with a series of entrance and exit ramps resembling the leaves of a four-leaf clover.

StarStarStarStar

Unsignalized Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction where traffic flow is controlled by signs or by default 'right-of-way' rules instead of signals.

StarStarStarStar

Jughandle Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction where drivers are rerouted to make a left turn or sometimes a U-turn from a right-hand lane.

StarStarStarStar

Y-Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction where roads form a 'Y' shape and merge or diverge at an acute angle.

StarStarStarStar

Multilevel Intersection (Stack)

StarStarStarStar

A complex junction that separates traffic by levels with bridges and/or tunnels to allow traffic to pass without intersection.

StarStarStarStar

Split Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A configuration where each direction of a main road is separated by a barrier and has its own set of signal phases.

StarStarStarStar

Crossroad Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction where two roads cross each other at a grade.

StarStarStarStar

Displaced Left-Turn (DLT) Intersection

StarStarStarStar

An innovative intersection design that allows left-turning traffic to cross opposite traffic before the main intersection.

StarStarStarStar

Signalized Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A crossroad managed by traffic lights which regulate the flow of traffic.

StarStarStarStar

Quadrant Roadway Intersection

StarStarStarStar

An intersection that adds a new road within a quadrant to avoid turning traffic conflicts at the main intersection.

StarStarStarStar

Diamond Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction typically associated with highways where local roads cross a highway with on and off ramps.

StarStarStarStar

Restricted Crossing U-Turn (RCUT) Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction that requires vehicles on the minor road to turn right and then perform a U-turn to go in the opposite direction.

StarStarStarStar

Roundabout Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A circular intersection with an island in the center, where traffic moves in one direction around the island.

StarStarStarStar

Turbo Roundabout

StarStarStarStar

A roundabout with spiral markings that guide drivers into lanes early and reduce conflicting traffic paths.

StarStarStarStar

T-Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction where three roads come together and one road ends.

StarStarStarStar

Continuous flow Intersection (CFI)

StarStarStarStar

An alternative design where left-turning vehicles cross opposing traffic before the main intersection.

StarStarStarStar

Superstreet Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A type of intersection where side street traffic is required to turn right and then perform a U-turn for other movements.

StarStarStarStar

Median U-Turn Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction where through movements from side streets are prohibited, and drivers must use a median U-turn instead.

StarStarStarStar

Partial Cloverleaf Interchange

StarStarStarStar

Resembles a cloverleaf interchange but with fewer loops, often utilizing ramps instead.

StarStarStarStar

Hamburger Intersection

StarStarStarStar

Features a bridge or tunnel allowing through traffic on the main road to bypass the intersection while turns are handled at grade.

StarStarStarStar

Double Roundabout

StarStarStarStar

An intersection that connects two roundabouts in close proximity, sometimes referred to as a 'dogbone' intersection.

StarStarStarStar

Single-Point Urban Interchange (SPUI)

StarStarStarStar

A highway interchange where a single traffic signal controls all turning movements.

StarStarStarStar

Three-Level Intersection

StarStarStarStar

An interchange that spans over three vertically separated levels, allowing for free-flow movement in multiple directions.

StarStarStarStar

Hook Turn Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A unique turn method where turning vehicles move to the far side of the intersection to make the turn.

StarStarStarStar

Echelon Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A staggered intersection that splits roadway into discrete segments with controlled entry and exit points, to allow smooth traffic flow.

StarStarStarStar

Diverging Diamond Interchange (DDI)

StarStarStarStar

A highway interchange that temporarily shifts traffic to the opposite side of the road to facilitate left-turning movements.

StarStarStarStar

Thru-Turn Intersection

StarStarStarStar

Redirects turning traffic to a parallel roadway prior to rejoining the main road, improving flow and safety.

StarStarStarStar

Continuous Green T-Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A T-intersection that allows a right-turn from a minor road without stopping, as the major road through lane doesn't have to stop.

StarStarStarStar

Offset Intersection

StarStarStarStar

A junction where the side roads do not align directly opposite each other, creating two separate T-intersections.

StarStarStarStar

Windmill Intersection

StarStarStarStar

Characterized by the four ramps of a diamond interchange that connect to the intersecting road at 45-degree angles, forming a pinwheel shape.
