On a right angle two-lane road intersection with two-way traffic, the total number of potential conflict points are:
Intersection Design
An intersection is an area, shared by two or more roads, whose main function is to provide for the change of route directions. Intersections are classified into 3 general categories
- Grade separated (without ramps)
- Grade separated (with ramps) or interchanges
- At-grade
Conflict:- Conflicts points are those points where vehicles cross each either from the opposite direction or from sideways. The various type of conflicts of an intersection is
- Crossing conflicts
- Merging conflicts
- Diverging conflicts
For the intersection of two-lane two-way roads from both sides:
On right angle intersection of two-way traffic lanes, the total number of conflict points are 24, in which Major conflicting points = 16, Minor conflicting points = 8 where if one of the lanes is one way, the conflict points are reduced to 11 only. If both the lanes are one-way the conflict points will be 6.
