A building structure that serves to link roads is called an intersection. The roads connecting to the intersection are called intersection arms. Intersections with at least four intersection arms, of which two each form a continuous road, are called crossroads. An intersection with only one continuously passable road to which another road is connected is called a T-junctionT-junction. Intersection and T-junctions are the standard forms of intersection design.
Crossing processes can be avoided in whole or in part by routing traffic flowsTraffic flows at different levels. These are then intersections on several levels, intersections of unequal height or grade-separated intersectionsIntersectiongrade-separated. Intersections at which all crossing traffic flowsTraffic flows are routed at one level are accordingly called intersections on one level, or at-grade intersections.
