Variable_Descripcion Imagen
One way Street
A one-way street is a road designated for vehicular traffic to move in a single direction. These streets are typically used to improve traffic flow, reduce conflicts at intersections, and enhance pedestrian and cyclist safety in high-density areas.
Two ways street
A two-way street accommodates vehicular traffic in both directions, typically with one or more lanes for each direction. These streets are commonly used in urban and rural settings to manage moderate to heavy traffic volumes.
One Lane
One-lane roads allow vehicles to travel in a single direction or require alternating flow if bidirectional. These are common in rural or low-traffic areas.
Two Lanes
Two-lane roads support one lane per direction, facilitating moderate traffic volumes and are commonly used in various urban and suburban settings.
Three Lanes
Three-lane roads often include a center lane designated for turning or reversible traffic flows, improving access and traffic management.
Four Lanes
Four-lane roads provide two lanes for each direction, enhancing capacity and allowing for smoother overtaking maneuvers in high-traffic areas.
Five Lanes
Five-lane roads typically feature two lanes per direction with a central turning lane, improving access to adjacent properties and reducing delays caused by turning vehicles.
Six Lanes
Six-lane roads consist of three lanes per direction, suitable for high-traffic corridors, offering increased capacity and flexibility in traffic management.
Signalized
An intersection where traffic movements are regulated by traffic control signals, coordinating the flow of vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians to enhance safety and efficiency.
Stop Signs
A regulatory sign that instructs vehicles to make a complete stop at an intersection, yielding to other vehicles and pedestrians before proceeding, thereby managing right-of-way and reducing collision risks.
Roundabout
A circular intersection where traffic flows counterclockwise around a central island, with entering traffic yielding to circulating traffic, designed to improve safety and reduce delays compared to traditional intersections.
Dedicated signal for cyclists
A traffic signal specifically for bicycle traffic, providing cyclists with distinct phases to navigate intersections safely, often featuring bicycle symbols to differentiate from motor vehicle signals.
Bike boxes
A designated area at the head of a traffic lane at a signalized intersection that provides bicyclists with a safe and visible way to get ahead of queuing traffic during the red signal phase.
Two Stage turn box
A designated area that facilitates bicyclists making left or right turns in two stages at multi-lane signalized intersections, enhancing safety by allowing turns to be made separately from vehicle movements.
Protected or dedicated intersection
An intersection design that maintains physical separation between bicyclists and motor vehicles through the intersection, reducing conflicts and enhancing safety for cyclists and pedestrians.
Median island diverter
A traffic management device placed in the median of a roadway to restrict certain turning movements, thereby reducing through traffic on specific routes and enhancing safety for pedestrians and cyclists.
Combined bike lane Turn lane
A shared lane where a right-turning vehicle lane and a bicycle through lane overlap, designed to facilitate both movements within the same space, often marked with specific pavement symbols to guide users.
Through bike lane
A bicycle lane that continues straight through an intersection, often marked with distinctive pavement markings to guide cyclists and alert motorists to the presence of through-moving bicycle traffic.
3 Legs
An intersection where three roadways meet, forming a ‘T’ shape, with one road ending at the junction and the other continuing, requiring traffic control measures to manage turning and through movements.
4 Legs
An intersection where four roadways meet, typically forming a cross or ‘+’ shape, necessitating traffic control devices to manage the complex flow of vehicles and pedestrians from all directions.
4 or more legs
An intersection involving more than four intersecting roadways, often requiring advanced traffic engineering solutions to safely and efficiently manage the increased conflict points and traffic movements.
