Pg 91-108: Urban Street Design Guide
Comment:
Section discusses intersection design principles including compactness, importance as a piece of a larger network, efficient use of signals to integrate time ans space, and intersections as shared and public spaces. A series of design applications that enforce these principles are discussed, including for major intersections, intersections of major and minor streets, raised intersections, mini roundabouts, and designs for complex intersections.
