Collapsed double quadrant with grade separation (?)
Details    Edit
Updated: Oct 03, 2011
 Amazing Places!  Crazy Places!  CFI - 1,3,4-legs  Existing
Abstract: This intersection is quite old. It has elements of quadrant roads, and seom grade separation for good measure. The "quadrants" are parallel to other roads, so do not look like normal quadrants. Operationally, they function much like quadrants are supposed to. The approach to downtown effectively splits the roads to different areas of the CBD via the quadrant roadways.
