Anoffset T-intersection[1] is an at-grade road intersection where a conventional four leg intersection is split into two three-leg T-intersections to reduce the number of conflicts and improvetraffic flow.[2] Building the offset T-intersections ascontinuous green T-intersections (also calledseagull intersection), there is a single stop on the arterial road, only.[3] A higher volume of through traffic on the cross road,[4] or on unsignalized intersections, a rebuild to a conventional four-leg intersection may be adequate, also when the offset is a few feet only likestaggered junctions causing slower traffic for a longer time on the arterial road.[5]
Seen as aspur route or access road, offset T-intersections can be seen as an A2 or B2 typepartial cloverleaf interchange with no arterial road.[6]
