Channelization is a traffic engineering concept that employs the use of secondary roads, slip lane to separate certain flows of traffic from the main traffic lanes. The method came into favor in the United States in the 1950s.
A continuous flow intersection (CFI), also called a crossover displaced left-turn (XDL or DLT), is an alternative design for an at-grade road junction. Vehicles attempting to turn across the opposing direction of traffic (left in right-hand drive jurisdictions; right in left-hand drive jurisdictions) cross before they enter the intersection.
The 16 Divisions of construction, as defined by the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI)'s MasterFormat, is the most widely used standard for organizing specifications and other written information for commercial and institutional building projects in the U.S. and Canada.
A type of ramp or slip road where instead of a standard left turn being made from the left lane, left-turning traffic uses a ramp on the right side of the road (in countries that drive on the right). Junction A location where multiple roads intersect, allowing vehicular traffic to change from one road to another.
A jughandle is a type of ramp or slip road that changes the way traffic turns left at an at-grade intersection (in a country where traffic drives on the right). Instead of a standard left turn being made from the left lane, left-turning traffic uses a ramp on the right side of the road.
And the professionals who train our children to drive teach their driving students only to pull into the intersection to make a left turn if there is a clear path all the way through the intersection.
"Right-in" and "left-in" refer to turns from a main road into an intersection (or a driveway or parcel); "right-out" and "left-out" refer to turns from an intersection (or a driveway or parcel) to a main road. [1] [2] [3] RIRO is typical when vehicles drive on the right, and LILO is usual where vehicles
A chicane (/ ʃ ɪ ˈ k eɪ n /) is a serpentine curve in a road, added by design rather than dictated by geography. Chicanes add extra turns and are used both in motor racing and on roads and streets to slow traffic for safety.
