ABSTRACT:
A multi-level road intersection comprises a continuous-flow overpass for handling through traffic traveling on a first road, a continuous-flow underpass for handling through traffic traveling on a second road, and a rotary disposed on a ground level at the crossing area for handling right turn, left turn and U-turn traffics. Change-direction and merge lanes are disposed on the ground level to enable right turn, left turn and U-turn traffics to deviate from the first or second road to enter into the rotary, and to outgo therefrom toward a desired direction. Barrier-free pedestrian walkways are disposed at grade on the ground level adjacent the outer periphery of the rotary to enable pedestrian traffic to traverse the first and/or second roads with ease and with minimum exposure to vehicular traffic.
