INTERCHANGE PLANNING AND DESIGN--AN INTERNATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Worldwide, interchange design issues represent one of the most important challenges in highway design. Existing norms, standards, or guidelines for interchange design in eight countries on three continents were reviewed, analyzed, and evaluated. Because of space and time constraints, only important issues of interchange planning considerations and principles, interchange types, design standards, local practices, and information on traffic safety are presented. It is interesting to note that for system interchanges, the Trumpet, Y and T interchange types, cloverleaf and directional interchanges are most commonly used, whereas for service interchanges, diamond and partial cloverleaf interchange types are commonly applied.
