Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary consideration when designing intersections?
  • Step 1: Understand that intersections are where two or more roads meet.
  • Step 2: Recognize that cars, bicycles, and pedestrians all use intersections.
  • Step 3: Identify the main goal of designing intersections: to allow vehicles and people to move through safely and quickly.
  • Step 4: Consider traffic flow efficiency, which means making sure cars can move without too many stops or delays.
  • Step 5: Ensure safety by designing features like traffic signals, stop signs, crosswalks, and proper visibility.
  • Step 6: Balance both traffic flow and safety to create a well-designed intersection.
