Split Intersection
A split intersection is a rarely-built at-grade variant of the diamond interchange. Compared to a conventional four-leg intersection or road crossing, the arterial road is split into separate carriageways by , 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.
