What is a "continuous-flow intersection"?
A continuous-flow intersection is a type of road design that improves traffic movement by shifting left-turning vehicles to a separate lane before they reach the main intersection. This design allows left turns to take place without stopping the main traffic flow, reducing delays and congestion. Vehicles use designated lanes and signals to move efficiently, avoiding the need for traditional left-turn waiting areas. Continuous-flow intersections are often used in busy areas to improve safety and keep traffic moving smoothly by reducing frequent stopping and starting.
Example
At a continuous-flow intersection, drivers making left turns move into designated lanes before the main intersection, allowing through traffic to proceed without interruption.
