Give at least 5 examples for alternative intersections (local or

international). If possible, provide a brief explanation of the intersection.
Provide a picture and indicate the location of the intersection.

Diverging diamond intersection - also called a double crossover

diamond interchange (DCD). Is a subset of diamond interchange in
which the opposing directions of travel on the non-freeway road cross each
other on either side of the interchange so that traffic crossing the freeway
on the overpass or underpass is operating on the opposite driving
side from that which is customary for the jurisdiction. The crossovers may
employ one-side overpasses or be at-grade and controlled by traffic light.

Partial Cloverleaf Intersection - parclo is a modification of a cloverleaf
interchange.
The design has been well received and has since become one of the most
popular freeway-to-arterial interchange designs in North America. It has
also been used occasionally in some European countries, such as
Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, and the United Kingdom.

Single-Point Urban Interchange - is a type of interchange where the
arterial and ramp entrances/exits are controlled by a single traffic
signal. This type of interchange can be more efficient than a standard
diamond interchange and takes up less space. A variation of the SPUI
that has been used extensively in other countries is to replace the signal
with a single roundabout.

Directional Interchange - colloquially known as a stack interchange,

is a type of grade separated junction between two controlled-access
highway that allows for free-flowing movement to and from all directions of
traffic. These interchanges eliminate the problems of weaving, have the

compared to different types of interchanges.
The first directional interchange built in the world was the Four Level
Interchange which opened to Los Angeles traffic in 1949.

Cloverleaf Interchange - is a two-level interchange in which all turns are
handled by slip road. To go left (in right-hand traffic; reverse directions in
left-driving regions), vehicles first continue as one road passes over or
under the other, then exit right onto a one-way three-fourths loop ramp
(270°) and merge onto the intersecting road. The objective of a cloverleaf
is to allow two highways to cross without the need for any traffic to be
stopped by traffic lights. The limiting factor in the capacity of a cloverleaf
interchange is traffic weaving.
