PRIMER – INTERCHANGES Service Interchanges Conventional Diamond Single Point Urban Partial Cloverleaf Diverging Diamond Full Cloverleaf Indirect
CONVENTIONAL DIAMOND Lower Capacity STOP, SIGNAL, OR ROUNDABOUT Typically Rural Settings Low Cost Good Driver Expectancy Good Bicycle/ Pedestrian STOP, SIGNAL, OR Integration ROUNDABOUT

DIVERGING DIAMOND VIDEO DEMO
INDIRECT SIGNAL SIGNAL Used in restricted right-of- way conditions or when the adjacent roadway network precludes a traditional interchange type Circuitous Travel Routing Poor for Driver Expectancy Good for Bicycle/ Pedestrian Integration SIGNAL SIGNAL
