Diverging Diamond Intersection

A diverging diamond intersection is a solution for locations with a high volume of left turns. It handles higher traffic volumes, reduces travel times and improves safety for vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.

Concepts

• Innovative intersection concept
• Cross road traffic (lanes) shifts to left to improve traffic flow
• New intersection bypass (C-D) lane for frontage road through traffic

Anticipated Benefits

• Handles higher volumes of traffic
• Reduces travel times
• Improves safety for vehicles, bikes, and pedestrians
