Intersections are pivotal conflict points for both safety and operations. Great streets are optimized for multiple modes and balance the converging demands of all users. Effective intersection design convenes elements of the street design toolbox including lane configuration, stop or signal control, transit stop location, pedestrian safety and access, management of turning movements, and bikeway location and design. In urban contexts, especially as density increases, design packages should combine and negotiate these elements to reduce risk to active users and create efficiency for transit operations.
