• Abstract:
  A problem encountered in the design of diamond interchanges is determination of the distance that should be provided between the at-grade intersections. The two alternate methods of treating this problem are as follows: 1. Space the intersections far enough apart so that the traffic controls at each intersection may operate independently; and 2. Space the intersections close together and operate both intersections with one traffic controller. The right-of-way required for the first method keeps it from being a very feasible approach to the problem. Therefore, this publication will deal with the desired space required by method two.
