Abstract:

Intersections are an important part of an urban roadway. The efficiency, safety, speed, cost of operation, and capacity of the facility is a function of its design and how it operates. The main objective of intersection design is to facilitate the convenience, comfort, and safety of people traversing the intersection while enhancing the efficient movement fo motor vehicles, buses, trucks, bicycles, and pedestrians. In order to design urban intersections that are both functional and effective, designers need current information regarding intersection design that is easily accesible and in a user-friendly format.
