A quadrant roadway intersection adds an additional "quadrant roadway" between two legs of an intersection. This roadway adds two three-way intersections in addition to the original four-way intersection moving all left turns (in right-hand traffic countries) or right turns (in left-hand traffic countries) from the main intersection. The design is intended to improve traffic flow by reducing signal timing phases from four to two in the main intersection. The design is intended for intersections where large artery routes meet in an area of dense development and high pedestrian volume.

Hierdoor worden alle linksafslaande bewegingen buiten het hoofdkruispunt uitgevoerd. Dit is voordelig voor de verkeersveiligheid. Een nadeel van een kwadrantkruispunt is het ruimtebeslag. (nl)

  • A quadrant roadway intersection adds an additional "quadrant roadway" between two legs of an intersection. This roadway adds two three-way intersections in addition to the original four-way intersection moving all left turns (in right-hand traffic countries) or right turns (in left-hand traffic countries) from the main intersection. The design is intended to improve traffic flow by reducing signal timing phases from four to two in the main intersection. The design is intended for intersections where large artery routes meet in an area of dense development and high pedestrian volume. Proponents also point to a reduction in places where accidents could occur from vehicles potentially crossing paths as well as a low development cost compared to roundabouts or the more complex single-point urban interchange designs. Opponents point to the increase in points where accidents could occur with merging traffic as well as the non-traditional nature of the design which has the potential to confuse drivers. Opponents also rebut low cost claims pointing to right-of-way and construction costs of the quadrant road. A related structure known as a jughandle accomplishes similar traffic movement from a more compact shape. (en)
  • Een kwadrantkruispunt of kwadrantoplossing is een kruispunt, waarbij in een kwadrant van het kruispunt een derde verbindingsweg is aangelegd die met T-splitsingen op de twee hoofdwegen aansluit. Hierdoor worden alle linksafslaande bewegingen buiten het hoofdkruispunt uitgevoerd. Dit is voordelig voor de verkeersveiligheid. Een nadeel van een kwadrantkruispunt is het ruimtebeslag. Als het kruispunt wordt vervangen door een ongelijkvloerse kruising, dan wordt het complex een kwadrantaansluiting genoemd. Deze aansluitingen komen ook in Nederland voor. Voorbeelden zijn de kruising tussen de N201 en N205 bij Hoofddorp en aansluiting Helmond-Noord op de N279. (nl)
