Designing Intersections

Classifies intersections as simple, T-type, or complex, each with unique safety and design implications.

Marked crosswalks installed at unsignalized intersections to improve visibility and pedestrian safety.

Physically restricts parking near intersections to improve visibility and reduce turning conflicts.

Designated lanes that separate left-turn movements to reduce conflicts and improve intersection efficiency.

Quick-build treatments that tighten turning radii to slow drivers and increase pedestrian safety at corners.

Raised median that limits turns and reduces conflict points while enhancing safety and greening opportunities.

Programming of traffic signals to prioritize safety, manage flow, and support walking, biking, and transit.
