What is an "intersection"?
An intersection is a point where two or more roads, streets, or paths meet or cross each other. It is a place where vehicles, pedestrians, or cyclists may need to stop or change direction to continue on their way. Intersections are often controlled by traffic signals, signs, or roundabouts to help manage the flow of traffic and ensure safety. They can vary in size and complexity, from simple crossroads to larger, multi-lane junctions, and are a key feature of transportation systems, allowing movement between different routes.
