Divided Highway Intersections

Divided highway intersections are ones where there is an external leg intersecting with one or both of the through roadways. For the illustrations in this section, the vehicle approaching the divided highway has the option of turning left or right (in other words, there is a median opening).
This section presents the following divided highway illustrations:
  • Figure 7-3: Wide median with left turn bays and an external state road on one side.
  • Figure 7-4: Wide median with left turn bays and an external state road on both sides.
  • Figure 7-5: Wide median with no left turn bays and an external state road on one side.
  • Figure 7-6: Narrow median with left turn bays and an external state road on one side.
  • Figure 7-7: Narrow median with left turn bays and an external state road on both sides.
  • Figure 7-8: Narrow median with no left turn bays and an external state road on one side.
  • Figure 7-9: Wide median with no left turn bays and an external local road on one side.
For each figure, confirmation signs are shown on the divided highway. For other departure signs, see Chapter 6.
