Intersection Design – Operational Requirements Provide adequate sight distance – for
approach and departure maneuvers Minimize turning and through conflicts Provide natural paths for permitted
movements Avoid geometry (sharp curves/steep grades)
that complicates the driving task and adversely impact acceleration/deceleration
![Page 3: 10 Intersection Design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081521/577ccf081a28ab9e788eb331/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)

Adequate Sight Distance – ISD Allow drivers to have an unobstructed view of
intersection Definition: Required ISD is the length of cross
road that must be visible such that the driver of a turning/crossing vehicle can decide to and complete the maneuver without conflict with vehicles approaching the intersection on the cross road.

Adequate Sight Distance – ISD Sight Triangle – area free of obstructions
necessary to complete maneuver and avoid collision – needed for approach and departure (from stop sign for example) – Exhibit 9-50
Allows driver to anticipate and avoid collisions Allows drivers of stopped vehicles enough view
of the intersection to decide when to enter

Sight Triangle
area free of obstructions necessary to complete maneuver and avoid collision – needed for approach and departure (from stop sign for example)
Consider horizontal as well as vertical, object below driver eye height may not be an obstruction
AASHTO assumes 3.5’ above roadway

ISD Cases
No control: vehicles adjust speed Stop control: where traffic on minor roadway must
stop prior to entering major roadway Yield control: vehicles on minor roadway must yield
to major roadway traffic Signal control: where vehicles on all approaches are
required to stop by either a stop sign or traffic signal All way stop Stopped major roadway left-turn vehicles – must yield
to oncoming traffic

Case A– No Control
Rare? – Not really - Iowa Minimum sight triangle sides = distance traveled
in 3 seconds (design or actual?) = 2 seconds for P/R and 1 second to actuate brake/accel.
Assumes vehicles slow ~ 50% of midblock running speed
![Page 10: 10 Intersection Design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081521/577ccf081a28ab9e788eb331/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10
Case A– No Control
Prefer appropriate SSD on both approaches (minimum really)
Provided on lightly traveled roadways Provide control if sight triangle not available Assumes vehicle on the left yields to vehicle on
the right if they arrive at same time

Case B – Stop Control
Three Sub Cases – Maneuvers Turn left on to major roadway (clear traffic left,
enter traffic right) Turn right on to major roadway (enter traffic
from left) Crossing (clear traffic left/right)

Case B – Stop Control
Need ISD for departure and completion even if
vehicle comes into view at point of departure = 1.47
Vmajor * tg where tg=7.5-11.5s; add more for grade
or multilane; decrease by 1s. for right turns

Case C - Yield Control Minor Roadway Yields – must be able to
see left/right – adjust speed – possibly stop
Sight distance exceeds that on stop control
Similar to no-control
![Page 24: 10 Intersection Design](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081521/577ccf081a28ab9e788eb331/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Case C - Yield Control Must use minimum stopping sight
distances for da and db rather than values from Table 7.7 (page 251, Garber and Hoel)
SSD calculation should include effect of grade
Required distance = P/R + stop

Case C - Yield Control Typically Known – a, b Typically Assume Va or Vb Similar triangle can be used to calculate safe
approach speeds (given one approach speed) or allowable a and b.

Yield Control
• Case C I: Crossing maneuver from minor road• Assumes that minor road vehicles that do not
stop decelerate to 60% of minor road speed• Vehicle should be able to:
• Travel from decision point to intersection decelerating to 60% of design speed
• Cross and clear the intersection at the same speed
