Abstract We present simple formulae for the maximum capacity of an intersection of a single stream of minor traffic with a single stream of major (priority) traffic. The method allows for both mixed (nonhomogeneous) vehicle types and for inconsistent driver behaviour in the minor traffic stream. For a realistic class of major headway distributions the capacity is the harmonic mean of the capacities for each individual vehicle type. The formulae include generalisations of Tanner's formula for the cases of inconsistent and/or nonhomogeneous minor vehicles.
