A directional interchange is a type of highway interchange designed to allow vehicles to move between highways without stopping or crossing lanes of traffic. It uses ramps and overpasses to direct traffic smoothly from one highway to another, making turns and lane changes easier and faster. This design helps reduce congestion and improve safety by keeping traffic moving efficiently without interruptions. Directional interchanges are often found in busy or complex areas where multiple highways intersect.
- The directional interchange ahead allows drivers to switch smoothly between the highway and the local roads.
- Using the directional interchange, commuters can efficiently navigate through different routes to reach their destinations.
- During rush hour, traffic often slows down near the directional interchange as vehicles merge onto different lanes.
- Engineers designed the directional interchange to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow in the city center.
- Signs are strategically placed near the directional interchange to guide drivers towards their desired exits.
