Grade separated intersections

Direct interchange ramp---diverging to right side

and merging from the right

Semi direct interchange ramp—diverging to left Justification

but merging from right

Indirect interchange ramp—diverging to left and

merging form the left---simpler and less
hazardous---more distance to be traversed.
