Road junctions and intersections
A road junction is the point at which one road meets another; an intersection
is the point at which two or more roads cross еach other. Both junctions and
intersections are the worst danger spots in a road system. The problems of reducing danger at these points are those of cost and space. If junctions and intersections are such that all classes of traffic meet each other at the same level, there is a danger of collision. Almost complete segregation of different classes can be achieved, and the need for users of the same class to cross traffic streams can be avoided.
The perfect example of complete segregation of different classes of traffic and of the avoidance of different classes of traffic and of the avoidance of crossing traffic streams is the clover-leaf junction, at which no collision can occur between vehicles. All forms of road junction can be classified intothree groups: multi-level junctions, roundabouts and flyover-junctions. Multi-level junctions. The clover-leaf, the most typical of these, has already been mentioned. There is need for multi-level intersections where three conditions
are fulfilled:

Road Construction
Road construction requires the creation of a continuous right-of-way, overcoming geographic obstacles and having grades low enough to permit vehicle or foot travel. and may be required to meet standards set by law or official guidelines. The process is often begun with the removal of earth and rock by digging or blasting, construction of embankments, bridges and tunnels, and removal of vegetation (this may involve deforestation) and followed by the laying of pavement material. A variety of road building equipment is employed in road building. Old road surfaces, fences, and buildings may need to be removed before construction can begin. Trees in the road construction area may be marked for retention. These protected trees should not have the topsoil within the area of the tree's drip line removed and the area should be kept clear of construction material and equipment. Compensation or replacement may be required if a protected tree is damaged.
