What is a light rail intersection?

A light rail intersection is a location where two or more light rail lines cross or converge. These intersections are typically designed to allow trains to pass through without conflicting with each other, either by using grade separation (elevated or underground tracks) or signal control systems.

Light rail intersections are important points in a light rail system's network, as they allow passengers to transfer between different lines and travel to different destinations. They are often located in densely populated areas, where multiple lines meet or where there is high demand for public transportation.

Proper design and operation of light rail intersections are critical to ensure the safety and efficiency of the system. This includes signal timing, track alignment, and clear signage to guide passengers. Traffic flow, pedestrian safety, and accessibility for people with disabilities are also important considerations in the design of light rail intersections.
