Alternative Intersections - Drive Slower, Travel Faster!

Have you ever been stuck blocks away from a busy intersection, then inched forward watching the light ahead turn green and red several times before you even reach the front of the line? This is frequently because a single traditional signal simply has too many jobs to do. As traffic grows, left turn arrows are added for safety. But these arrows add inefficiency, complexity, and pedestrian uncertainty. It all translates into fewer vehicles able to traverse the intersection. To compensate, planners and engineers have historically seen little choice but to resort to expensive and destructive solutions such as adding more lanes or even bridges.

Place-Making Form AND Engineering Function - Everybody Wins!

Many designs, originally conceived to simply move more vehicles, also have many amazing Place Making attributes that can support and even encourage quality pedestrian spaces and Transit Oriented Development. Some, such the Town Center Intersection actually require streets to be narrowed rather than widened in order to move more vehicles.read more...

Top 10 Reasons to Investigate Alternative Intersections

  1. Very High Return on Investment!
  2. Improves Quality of Life!
  3. Many designs are very aesthetically pleasing, and can catalyze pedestrian-oriented "Places!"
  4. Attracts investment to revitalize struggling areas!
  5. More feasible to convert general purpose lanes into other uses such as transit only lanes!
  6. Better access management, but also frequently better business access!
  7. Reduces right-of-way impacts!
  8. Avoids widening streets, and even grade separation!
  9. Fewer conflicts and less congestion improves safety!
  10. Better mobility enhances the local economy!
