  2. Intersection (road) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersection_(road)

    One way to classify intersections is by the number of road segments (arms) that are involved. A 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 approached from the stem of the Y.

  4. Book embedding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_embedding

    A book embedding of this graph can be used to design a schedule that lets all the traffic move across the intersection with as few signal phases as possible. In bioinformatics problems involving the folding structure of RNA , single-page book embeddings represent classical forms of nucleic acid secondary structure , and two-page book embeddings ...

  6. Braess's paradox - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Braess's_paradox

    Braess's paradox is the observation that adding one or more roads to a road network can slow down overall traffic flow through it. The paradox was first discovered by Arthur Pigou in 1920, [1] and later named after the German mathematician Dietrich Braess in 1968.

  9. Continuous-flow intersection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuous-flow_intersection

    The continuous flow intersection moves the left-turn conflict out of the intersection and synchronizes it with the signal cycle of the intersecting road. In the adjacent diagram, while the left/right traffic flows through the main intersection, the left-turn traffic crosses to the opposite side of the oncoming traffic a few hundred feet away.
