A split intersection is a rarely-built at-grade variant of the diamond interchange.[1] Compared to a conventional four-leg intersection or road crossing, the arterial road is split into separate carriageways by 200 to 300 feet (61 to 91 m), which allows a queue of left turning vehicles behind a completed turn into the crossroad without any conflict to oncoming traffic. On the crossroad, the four-leg intersection is replaced by two intersections.
The beginning of one-way traffic at the fourth leg makes the intersections reduce the number of conflicts, similarly to a three-leg T-intersection, to improve traffic flow.[2][3]
It is the most common intersection design on Utah State Route 85, also called Mountain View Corridor. They are planned to be later converted, mostly into diamond interchanges, by adding a bridge in the middle.
At West Ridge Road (NY-104) and Long Pond Road, in Greece, New York. This intersection is also signed as a Truck U-Turn, as trucks wishing to access commercial property on the opposite side of the divided roadway are only permitted to perform U-Turns at intersections signed as such.
Town center intersection
Town Center Intersection (TCI)
A town center intersection (TCI) is similar to a split intersection; however, both the arterial road and the crossroad are split into separated one-way streets. The resulting grid, most often implemented in a city, reduces conflicts to two directions per intersection.[4][5]
