An intersection for handling traffic from a plurality of intersecting roads, each of said roads having oppositely directed lanes for oppositely traveling traffic, said intersection comprising:

• a cental zone into which each of said roads extends, said lanes being divided into incoming lanes relative to said zone and outgoing lanes relative to said zone;
• an interchange zone associated with each of said roads entering said central zone, each interchange zone being outside of said central zone and including an overpass for exchanging the relative position of at least two of said oppositely directed lanes for each of said roads, said overpass being used to exchange all lanes which require exchanging in said interchange zone;
• and
• wherein said lanes are divided into main traffic lanes and access lanes for each of said roads, said access lanes connecting to said main traffic lanes at points of conflict, and said main traffic lanes of certain of said roads being connected to provide a main traffic stream, there being at least as many incoming lanes in each road, prior to said overpasses, as the directional choices available and all points of conflict on said incoming lanes being positioned prior to said overpasses and on the same level, all points of conflict on said outgoing lanes being positioned after said overpasses whereby the choice of direction is selected by entering a unique lane for a particular direction prior to said interchange zone.
