INTERSECTIONS: DESIGN AND CONTROL

IDENTIFICATION

1. A type of intersection that has no traffic control sign or signals. Uncontrolled

Intersection
2. An intersection that has a give way or stop control. Priority Controlled Intersection
3. Widely seen road intersection with traffic signals. Time-sharing intersection
4. Do not have any ghost or physical islands in the major road or traffic islands in the minor
road approach. Simple Priority T-Intersections
5. Have a painted hatched-island in the middle of the single carriageway main road to
provide a diverging lane and waiting space for vehicles turning fight into the minor road.
Ghost Island T- intersections
6. Channelized intersection in which vehicles are guided onto a one-way circulatory road
about a central island. Roundabout
7. A roundabout that has a curbed central island 4 m or more in diameter. Normal
Roundabout
8. Intersections that are composed of a system of connector roads which, in conjunction
with a grade-separation. Intersection with grade separation
9. A four- legged interchange and is used when two highways of high volume and speed
intersect each other with considerable turning movements. Cloverleaf Interchange
10. Simplest form of grade separated intersection between two roadways. Diamond
Interchange
