At-grade Railway
An intersection or an at-grade junction is a junction (road), junction where two or more roads converge, diverge, meet or cross at the same height, as opposed to an interchange (road), interchange, which uses bridges or tunnels to separate different roads. Major intersections are often delineated by Gore (road), gores and may be classified by road segments, traffic controls and lane design. This article primarily reflects practice in jurisdictions where vehicles are right- and left-hand traffic, driven on the right. If not otherwise specified, "right" and "left" can be reversed to reflect jurisdictions where vehicles are right- and left-hand traffic, driven on the left. Types Road segments One way to classify intersections is by the number of road segments (arms) that are involved. * A three-way junction, three-way intersection is a junction between three road segments (arms): a T junction when two arms form one road, or a Y junction, the latter also known as a fork if appr ...

The Calzada de Tlalpan ("causeway of Tlalpan") is a major north-south thoroughfare in Mexico City. Originally laid down to connect the island city of Tenochtitlan with the southern shores of Lake Texcoco, in its present-day form it connects the city's downtown with the highways heading south out from the city to the states of Morelos and Guerrero over a distance of 18 km. History Construction of the causeway began during the reign of ''tlatoani'' Itzcoatl in 1432. It was one of three that linked Tenochtitlan with the shores of the surrounding lakes. In 1519 it was used by ''conquistador'' Hernán Cortés to enter the city.

Coyoacán
Coyoacán ( ; , Otomi: ) is a borough (''demarcación territorial'') in Mexico City. The former village is now the borough's "historic center". The name comes from Nahuatl and most likely means "place of coyotes", when the Aztecs named a pre-Hispanic village on the southern shore of Lake Texcoco dominated by the Tepanec people. Against Aztec domination, these people allied with the Spanish, who used the area as a headquarters during the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire and made it the first capital of New Spain between 1521 and 1523. The village and later municipality of Coyoacán remained independent of Mexico City through the colonial period into the 19th century. In 1857, the area was incorporated into the then Federal District when this district was expanded. In 1928, the borough was created when the Federal District was divided into sixteen boroughs. The urban expansion of Mexico City reached the borough in the mid-20th century, turning farms, former lakes, and for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
