Crossroads (junction)
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 ...

Subway (underpass)
A subway, also known as an underpass, is a grade-separated pedestrian crossing running underneath a road or railway in order to entirely separate pedestrians and cyclists from motor or train traffic. Terminology In the United States, as used by the California Department of Transportation and in parts of Pennsylvania such as Harrisburg, Duncannon and Wyoming County, subway refers to a depressed road undercrossing. Where they are built elsewhere in the country, the term 'pedestrian underpass' is more likely to be used, because "subway" in North America refers to rapid transit systems such as the New York City Subway or the Toronto subway. This usage also occurs in Scotland, where the underground railway in Glasgow is referred to as the Glasgow Subway. Effects Pedestrian underpasses allow for the uninterrupted flow of both pedestrians and vehicle traffic. However, they are normally considered a last resort by modern urban planners as they can be expensive and cause graffi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
