Intersection (road)
An intersection is a road junction where two or more roads either meet or cross at grade (they are at the same level). An intersection may be 3-way - a T junction or fork, 4-way - a crossroads, or 5-way or more. It may often be controlled by traffic lights, and may be a roundabout (traffic circle in America).
This article primarily reflects jurisdictions where vehicles are driven on the right. If not otherwise specified, "right" and "left" can be reversed to reflect jurisdictions where vehicles are driven on the left.

Famous quotes containing the word intersection:
“If we are a metaphor of the universe, the human couple is the metaphor par excellence, the point of intersection of all forces and the seed of all forms. The couple is time recaptured, the return to the time before time.”
—Octavio Paz (b. 1914)
