At-grade Intersection





TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT

With areas of high or fast Traffic , an at-grade intersection normally requires a Traffic Control Device such as a Stop Sign or Traffic Light or Railway Signal to manage conflicting traffic.


EXAMPLES

The various types of at-grade intersections have different names. Examples are '' Intersection '' ( Road s) and '' Level Junction '' ( Railway s). Some of them can also mix Transportation Modalities . An example of this is the ''railway grade crossing'' (American English) or '' Level Crossing '' (British English) where a roads cross railways at grade.
