There are two main types of intersections: 1) intersections at grade, where crossing roads are at the same level, and 2) grade separated intersections, where roads cross at different heights. Intersections at grade can be either unchannelized, allowing vehicles to merge freely, or channelized, using barriers and markings to direct traffic along defined paths and reduce conflict points. Grade separated intersections remove conflicts by separating traffic flows onto different heights, usually with overpasses or underpasses.
