What is a "trumpet interchange"?
A trumpet interchange is a type of highway interchange that connects a main highway to a smaller road or access road, often in the shape of a "trumpet" with one curved ramp. This design allows vehicles to enter or exit the main highway easily, without crossing traffic, by using a simple curved ramp. Trumpet interchanges are typically used in areas where a highway meets a secondary road, helping traffic flow smoothly with minimal complexity. They are common in rural or less-developed areas with lower traffic volumes.
Example
The city 's new highway system includes a trumpet interchange where Route 5 meets Route 7, allowing smooth traffic flow.
Drivers approaching the trumpet interchange should follow signs carefully to avoid missing their exit.
Construction crews worked tirelessly to complete the trumpet interchange on schedule despite challenging weather conditions.
