A cloverleaf interchange is a two-level interchange in which all turns are handled by slip roads. To go left (in right-hand traffic; reverse directions in left-driving regions), vehicles first continue as one road passes over or under the other, then exit right onto a one-way three-fourths loop ramp (270°) and merge onto the intersecting road.
Grade-separated road junctions are typically space-intensive, complicated, and costly, due to the need for large physical structures such as tunnels, ramps, and bridges. Their height can be obtrusive, and this, combined with the large traffic volumes that grade-separated roads attract, tend to make them unpopular to nearby landowners and residents.
A diverging diamond interchange (DDI), also called a double crossover diamond interchange (DCD), [1] [2] is a subset of diamond interchange in which the opposing directions of travel on the non-freeway road cross each other on either side of the interchange so that traffic crossing the freeway on the overpass or underpass is operating on the ...

A "virtual" (or theoretical) gore is a triangular shaped space, characteristically marked off with distinguishing highway ...
In traffic engineering, a merge is the point where two streams of traffic travelling in the same direction from multiple roads or in multiple lanes on the same road are required to merge into a single lane. A merge may be a permanent road feature, for example at the end of a dual carriageway, or a temporary feature, common during roadworks.
A dumbbell interchange along Ontario Highway 401 in Clarington, Ontario, Canada.This one features a loop ramp. The ramp intersections may also be configured as a pair of roundabouts [1] to create a type of diamond interchange often called a dumbbell interchange [citation needed] (due to its aerial resemblance to a dumbbell), and sometimes called a double roundabout interchange.
