(1) single-lane approach
(2) slip-road / dedicated lanes (3) multi-lane approaches (4) non-symmetrical (5) multi-lanes through (6) non-circular (7) blocked views (8) altered priorities |
(9) exits close together
(10) sloping ground (11) yellow boxes (12) spiral (= non-circle lanes) (13) protected/hatched areas (14) traffic-light control (15) varying lanes (16) combination of features |
