Junction (traffic)
A junction, when discussed in the context of transport, is a location where traffic can change between different routes, directions, or sometimes modes, of travel.

The word "junction" in this context may also refer to: *The general locality of a given interchange *A specific interchange on a major road, e.g. motorway. This is the common use in the United Kingdom. For example, Milton Keynes is said to be "off ''junction 13''" of the M1. History Historically, many cities and market towns developed wherever there was a junction. A road intersection offered opportunities for rest or trade for travellers and merchants.
