Underpass:
Highway taken by depressing it below the ground level to
cross another road by means of an under bridge
A tunnel may be for foot, vehicular road traffic, or rail

Underpass:
Warning to traffic in advance
• Trumpets are suitable at the locations where the side road exists on
only one side of the freeway, and traffic is relatively low.
Trumpet Interchange
• But the limitations in employing trumpet interchanges are it leaves a
redundant patch of the land within the loop.
Disadvantages
• More costly to construct than a cloverleaf interchange due to the
increase number and length of ramps and the number of bridge
crossings.
Traffic Manoeuvres
Let us understand what are the different type of traffic manoeuvres which will help
us in finding potential conflict points in an intersection.
•Diverging
•Merging
•Crossing
•Weaving
• Crossing conflict is a major conflict and dangerous, rest are minor conflicts.
• Weaving is a combination of merging and diverging, happens usually in rotary.
Two-lane two-way traffic on both sides
