菱形立交, 钻石形交叉口
a type of road junction where two major roads cross, and traffic flows through a series of intersections resembling the shape of a diamond
A diamond interchange is a type of road interchange where a highway crosses a smaller road, with ramps on each corner that allow vehicles to enter and exit the highway. The shape of the interchange resembles a diamond, with the smaller road running through the middle and the ramps connecting it to the highway. This design is commonly used in areas with moderate traffic flow, as it allows for easy and safe movement between roads without requiring stoplights or complicated turns.
- In a diamond interchange, vehicles exiting the highway merge onto a frontage road before joining local traffic.
