It’s a diverging diamond interchange. It reduces the amount of collisions and the amount of lights so you wait less and it’s safer.

so it’s like a double roundabout but with lights instead

this benefits people who need to turn around on the highway but I'm not seeing how this benefits people who would have otherwise started on the left/right and crossed to the opposite side. they have two stoplights and a confusing intersection

what's the benefit of this over a roundabout? over here we typically use one big or two small roundabouts in this kind of situation, wouldnt all these crossings slow down traffic flow a lot?

Why would they design this? Seems highly unnecessary

Hank you're really overestimating us here.

They added one of these off our exit and it actually has improved traffic so much. Idk how. But it has

Can you make sense of the Utah roads that switch direction depending on time of day?

It’s one of those things that seems bad and then you just go with it and it all makes so much sense

Science question about shingles!!! I never had the chickenpox, but did get the vaccine as an adult. I’m now in my 50s… Should I get the shingles vaccine?? Or is it impossible for me to actually develop shingles?? Hope you’re feeling better!!!

I thought diverging diamonds were INSANE till they put one in about 5 mins from my house. The traffic flow in that area is so much better now! I didn't really get it till I drove it myself.

If a lot of traffic makes left turns at an intersection, this is one of the safest and most efficient options

Biggest issue where I visit in Utah is all the lines have faded from salt/sand/plowing. It’s best to be behind someone so you can figure out where to drive

I wish there was a way to also address the fact that people coming off the highway need to swap lanes with people getting on the highway, but nothing’s perfect
