Superstreets

A superstreet is a divided highway with intersections that do not allow minor cross-street traffic to go straight through or turn left. The minor cross-street traffic must turn right. Then, vehicles can make a U-turn to proceed in the desired direction. This change reduces the number of traffic signal phases and allows for longer green lights on the major roadway. This design can lessen congestion caused by the signals.
