Problem
Four-way crossings bring traffic streams together from every direction at once, creating confusing, dangerous points of conflict where no one is quite sure who yields to whom.
Solution
Favor three-armed T junctions over four-way crossings, since they slow traffic down, cut down on points of conflict, and give the surrounding space a clearer sense of order.
