	East Los Angeles Interchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The East Los Angeles Interchange complex is one of the busiest freeway interchanges in the United States, if not the world.
		Further complication is added by the varying designs of each intersecting freeway and their related transition roads.
		Thus, traffic congestion is exacerbated as vehicles on the newer freeways moving at high rates of speed 'transition' to the older freeways and encounter slower moving vehicles, or vice versa.

	PUBLIC ROADS On-Line (Autumn 1994): COMPARISON OF THE SAFETY OF LIGHTING OPTIONS ON URBAN FREEWAYS
		Box found that the average night/day accident-rate ratio was 66 percent greater on unlighted freeways than on lighted freeways, and he concluded that the illumination of an unlighted urban freeway could theoretically reduce night accidents by an average of 40 percent.
		Interchange areas include the areas along the freeway mainline between and including acceleration lanes, deceleration lanes, and their respective ramps.
		Complete interchange lighting is used to describe the process of applying lighting to the interchange in such a manner as to achieve illumination of all roadways in the interchanges.

	Freeway Interchanges
		Interchange of the Harbor (CA 110/I-110) and Santa Monica (I-10) Freeways south of downtown Los Angeles.

	Pinellas Cancelled Freeways
		All freeways in blue on the map to the left were proposed in a 1970 plan, all were cancelled by 1982.
		This freeway was the highest profile of all planned in the county, and would have been built as an interstate with mostly federal funds.
		This freeway is yet another casualty of the high cost of acquiring the wide girth of land needed to built it.

	Mail Tribune News - Freeway interchange plans to be discussed at meeting
		Earlier this month, a panel of state transportation officials and local residents expressed its preference that the new freeway ramps be built to connect Interstate 5 to Highland Drive to the east, and Belknap Road and Highway 99 to the west.
		Under either option, existing freeway ramps on Barnett would be closed, turning the street over to local traffic.
		A draft environmental impact statement on the interchange overhaul is expected in May, when a public hearing will be held on the findings.

	Kurumi's Field Guide to Interchanges - Glossary
		An interchange between two freeways where access is provided by an auxiliary divided road, connected to each freeway with a trumpet interchange.
		In our context (interchange diagrams), a freeway is a road with full access control in the interchange area: the reason an interchange is used instead of an at-grade, signalized intersection.
		An interchange with one or more loop ramps, but fewer than the eight ramps needed to form a full cloverleaf.

	US 220/PA 26 Multiplex - Central PA/MD Roads
		At the current I-80 interchange, US 220 splits from PA 26 and follows I-80 east while PA 26 continues north on its two-lane alignment.
		On the south side of the freeway, this ramp leads from PA 26 south to I-80 east/US 220 south.
		This photo was from March 2002, when the US 220 and PA 26 interchange was completed but not yet opened because the freeway was not complete to the south until November 2002.

	Kurumi's Field Guide to Interchanges
		An interchange is a grade-separated intersection (one road passes over another) with ramps to connect them, as pictured.
		These terms make the most sense when one freeway intersects a surface street; entrance and exit are from the point of view of the freeway.
		However, many interchanges are slight variations of a few basic types, that adapt well to various situations and have been proven over the decades.

		In freeway terms they spell "hellish fucking traffic." Despite some truly beautiful freeway architecture at this juncture, and the thrilling vistas to be found at the edge of the Pomona Valley, this interchange sucks.

		The Martin Luther King Freeway Extension in Portsmouth would be the extension of the southerly Midtown Tunnel approach highway (formerly known as the London Expressway) for 0.7-mile southward from London Boulevard to I-264, including building a three-way interchange with I-264.
		It is anticipated that construction of the Pinners Point Interchange and Connector will begin after 1998, however, due to funding constraints and competing priorities, the tunnel portion of the project and associated connection on the Norfolk end are not likely to be funded in the near or intermediate future.

		The remaining option would leave the interchange at Barnett, but the road would be limited to eastbound traffic.

		The two ramps heading westward off I-280 and San Jose Avenue may have been the first step towards a Crosstown Freeway, but this is unconfirmed and there is no further evidence of the Crosstown's existance.
