  Cloverleaf interchange - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A cloverleaf interchange is a two-level interchange in which left turns (in countries that drive on the right) are handled by loop ramps.
These interchanges include the parclo and SPUI interchanges when connecting to an arterial road, and the stack interchange when connecting to another freeway or to a busy arterial where signals are still not desired.
In Hampton, Virginia, a cloverleaf interchange between Interstate 64 and U.S. Route 258 is being partially unwound into a cloverstack interchange.

 Glossary
Full cloverleaf is not considered as applicable in some situations now as it might have been a few decades ago.
PARtial CLOverleaf A2 means two quadrants of the interchange have on and off ramps.

The cloverleaf was patented in the United States by Arthur Hale, a civil engineer in Maryland, on February 29, 1916.http://members.a1.net/wabweb/frames/kreuzf.htm Several cloverleaves were built in the late 1920s, and it is unclear which was first.
With interchangeable parts, the problems that plagued the era of unique weapons and equipment had passed, and if one mechanism in a weapon failed, a new piece could be ordered and the weapon would not have to be discarded.
In the United States, where this form of interchange is very common, particularly in rural areas, traffic on the off-ramp typically faces a stop sign at the minor road, while traffic turning onto the freeway is unrestricted.

 Parclo (Partial Cloverleaf) interchanges   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The term "parclo" is an abbreviation for "partial cloverleaf".
For the freeway-road scenario, replacing the 270 degree cloverleaf loops with 180 degree loops or “on-off” ramps results in at-grade intersections with the road, rather than ramps that seamlessly merge with the road.
A freeway parclo is essentially a cross between a full cloverleaf interchange and a stack interchange.

 Interchanges: Cloverleaf
As we'll see, the full cloverleaf is not considered as applicable in some situations now as it might have been a few decades ago; in several places cloverleafs have been replaced with either signalized interchanges or higher-capacity directional interchanges with flyovers.
A disadvantage to the plain cloverleaf is the "weaving" process, where drivers exiting one loop have to merge and cross other drivers entering the next one.
The first cloverleaf opened in New Jersey (at routes 4 and 25, which are now US 1/9 and NJ 35) in 1929; it is scheduled to be replaced with a diamond interchange around 2004.

The six-ramp partial cloverleaf allows traffic on the side street to flow more smoothly than a plain diamond, since the only crossing traffic comes off the two exit ramps.
In California, intersections that once had cloverleafs are being redesigned and rebuilt for six-ramps.
The addition of yet another traffic light where there was none before is disappointing (and generates a fair amount of criticism from laypersons), but the six-ramp does not suffer from the weaving motions caused by a full cloverleaf.

 Major Projects on Route 880   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
A partial cloverleaf interchange, with relatively restricted geometrics, exists at Coleman Avenue.
In January 1994, I-880 (north of the proposed project) was widened from four lanes to six lanes from Montague Expressway Interchange (KP 10.6) in Santa Clara County to Route 262 (Mission Boulevard, KP 3.67) in Alameda County.
Once these interchanges are rebuilt, I-880 will be widened from 6 to 8 lanes (four each direction) between Mission Blvd. and Highway 237 in order to extend the HOV (carpool) lane into Milpitas.
