Urban Intersections

Urban intersections can sometimes be sparsely landscaped or they can be formally landscaped with turf grass, tree and shrub beds, which can be irrigated or non-irrigated. Often, as in Figure 2-11, the interior areas of these intersections include natural, brush,
wildflower, pollinator
or wooded areas. Because Texas is a diverse state with 11 vegetative regions (see Figure 2-12, below) intersections are landscaped differently within the districts and maintained with various maintenance levels.
