The problem of intersection capacity is a constantly discussed topic in the field of traffic engineering. Uncontrolled intersections have the lowest capacity, roundabouts and controlled intersections follow, and grade-separated interchanges have the highest capacity. However, in many cases, a grade-separated interchange cannot be built (mainly for spatial or financial reasons). In these cases, it is necessary to look for solutions to increase the capacity of other types of intersections. The paper deals with capac...

Traffic volumes in road traffic show growth, especially in developed countries. Where necessary and depending on space, financial possibilities and other aspects, increasingly more capacity roads (multi-lane highways, complex grade-separated interchange, etc.) are being built. The places, where the roads meet (i.e. at the intersections), are the most problematic (traffic accidents, capacity problems, etc.). Standard intersections (i.e. level intersections, roundabouts, intersections with traffic lights or grade-se...
