What is a "seagull intersection"?
A seagull intersection is a type of road design where a main road is connected to another road or street through a series of curves and turns, creating a pattern that resembles a seagull's wings. This intersection design is used to redirect traffic in a way that allows vehicles to enter or exit a major road while maintaining traffic flow. The seagull intersection is often found in areas where space is limited or where direct access to the main road is not possible. It is designed to safely manage traffic movements, reducing the risk of accidents at junctions.
Examples
At the seagull intersection, drivers must yield to traffic on the main road before turning.
