Abstract
A traffic intersection (100) comprising first and second approach portions (107, 108, 109, 110) configured to permit travel towards said intersection (100) only from first and second approach directions respectively, and first and second exit portions (111, 112, 113, 114) configured to permit travel away from said intersection (100) only in first and second exit directions respectively, wherein the intersection (100) is configured to direct approaching traffic from each approach portion to either exit portion.
Claims16
A traffic intersection comprising first and second approach portions configured to permit travel towards said traffic intersection only from first and second approach directions respectively, and first and second exit portions configured to permit travel away from said intersection only in first and second exit directions respectively, wherein each approach portion is in connection with both exit portions such that traffic may flow from each approach portion to either exit portion to direct approaching traffic from each approach portion to either exit portion, wherein each approach portion, combined with at least one lane from each exit portion, forms a T-Junction such that traffic may travel towards the intersection on approach portion and thereafter may not travel directly forwards but may turn generally right or left onto the first or second exit portion respectively, wherein two T-junctions are formed back to back to form the intersection, wherein the intersection comprises connections portions, said connecting portions forming a transition between the approach portions and the exit portions, and wherein a plurality of pedestrian crossings having traffic lights are provided and positioned to selectably stop traffic on the approach portions and the exit portions, the plurality of traffic lights being synchronised.
A street arrangement comprising a plurality of intersections, each of said plurality of intersections comprising first and second approach portions configured to permit travel towards said intersection only from first and second approach directions respectively, and first and second exit portions configured to permit travel away from each said intersection only in first and second exit directions respectively, wherein each approach portion is in connection with both exit portions such that traffic may flow from each approach portion to either exit portion to direct approaching traffic from each approach portion to either exit portion, wherein each approach portion, combined with at least one lane from each exit portion, forms a T-Junction such that traffic may travel towards the intersection on the app and thereafter may not travel directly forwards but may turn generally right or left onto the first or second exit portion respectively, wherein two T-junctions are formed back to back to form the intersection, wherein the intersection comprises connecting portions forming a transition between the approach portions and the exit portions, and wherein a plurality of pedestrian crossings having traffic lights are provided and positioned to selectably stop traffic on the approach portions and the exit portions, the plurality of traffic lights being synchronised.
A series of intersections comprising an intermediate intersection deployed between two additional traffic intersections, each additional traffic intersections comprising first and second approach portions configured to permit travel towards said intersection only from first and second approach directions respectively, and first and second exit portions configured to permit travel away from said intersection only in first and second exit directions respectively, wherein each approach portion is in connection with both exit portions such that traffic may flow from each approach portion to either exit portion to direct approaching traffic from each approach portion to either exit portion, wherein each approach portion, combined with at least one lane from each exit portion, forms a T-Junction such that traffic may travel towards the intersection on the approach portion and thereafter may not travel directly forwards but may turn generally right or left onto the first or second exit portion respectively, wherein two T-junctions are formed back to back to form the additional intersection, wherein the additional intersection comprises connecting portions, said connecting portions forming a transition between the approach portions and the exit portions, and wherein a plurality of pedestrian crossing having traffic lights are provided and positioned to selectably stop traffic on the approach portions and the exit portions, the plurality of traffic lights being synchronised.
