On interrupted flow streets, intersections function as the boundary points and define the length of roadway sections. This chapter provides some essential concepts of interrupted flow in the context of intersections. It includes the most current analytical techniques to assess and evaluate existing and expected operational conditions of intersections, as well as highlighting novel and emerging practices that can be applied to increase the overall safety and efficiency of intersection operations for all users. Addressing a multimodal traffic stream within an interrupted traffic flow condition requires understanding of several key areas. These include design, operation, and installation/maintenance. The chapter discusses multimodal intersection design and safety for a variety of intersections, including roundabouts. It also explains intersection operational considerations and performance measurements. To illustrate the application of planning and operational concepts of multimodal interrupted flow facilities, the chapter presents three case studies.
