Diamond Interchange
A Diamond Interchange is a type of road junction that allows vehicles to transition between a highway and a local road. It features two ramps that connect the highway to the local road, forming a diamond shape when viewed from above. This design helps to minimize traffic congestion and improve safety by separating local and highway traffic.
At a diamond interchange, vehicles exiting the highway typically make a right turn onto the local road, while those entering the highway make a left turn. Traffic signals or stop signs are often used at the intersections to manage the flow of vehicles, ensuring smooth transitions for drivers.
