Original title: When driving on the wrong side of the road is the right way to speed up traffic
There are a few Diverging Diamond intersections around here and they seem to all work rather well from a vehicle perspective. I can't speak about the pedestrian side of that equation, as I've never been on foot.
Compares to a roundabout placed over a highway, it uses 1 bridge instead of two, but otherwise I don't know which flows best.
- PaulDavisThe1st 2y agoThe photos in TFA show 2 bridges.
- Havoc 2y agoAnd looks like they also intentionally separated them by a fair distance to break the "wrong side of road" sense
- edward28 2y agoIt can also retrofit a single bridge diamond, if needed.
- athenot 2y agoYes, though they are close to each other (a bit too close to make a roundabout). All the ones around where I live are on a single bridge; but they usually need to widen said bridge when they convert the intersection.
