The diverging diamond interchange (also known as a double crossover diamond interchange) is a relatively new design to the United States. This design can increase throughput and safety without widening bridge structures.
The Chapter Skim search tool presents what we've algorithmically identified as the most significant single chunk of text within every page in the chapter. You may select key terms to highlight them within pages of each chapter.
The final version of this book has not been published yet. You can pre-order a copy of the book and we will send it to you when it becomes available. We will not charge you for the book until it ships. Pricing for a pre-ordered book is estimated and subject to change. All backorders will be released at the final established price. As a courtesy, if the price increases by more than $3.00 we will notify you.
If the price decreases, we will simply charge the lower price.
Applicable discounts will be extended.
A PDF is a digital representation of the print book, so while it can be loaded into most e-reader programs, it doesn't allow for resizable text or advanced, interactive functionality. The eBook is optimized for e-reader devices and apps, which means that it offers a much better digital reading experience than a PDF, including resizable text and interactive features (when available).
In Cities where DDIs have been built, drivers say they do not even notice the crossover intersections (shifting to the left side of the road). This can be attributed to the road geometry, signs, and pavement markings that make navigating a DDI easy for the driver. With reconstruction complete at Big Beaver Road and 14 Mile Road you may have already experienced navigating a DDI, if not you can view this short video for a glimpse of how this type of interchange works.
JSON is a lightweight, text-based, language-independent syntax for defining data interchange formats. It was derived from the ECMAScript programming language, but is programming language independent. JSON defines a small set of structuring rules for the portable representation of structured data.

The figure shows a map of three Interstate routes: a mainline labeled Interstate 3, a loop labeled Interstate 203, and a spur labeled Interstate 103, each of which is shown with several exits to crossing highways. On all three routes, black dots denoting reference location signs accompanied by numbers are depicted spaced at intervals along the route, and each of the exits is shown with an interchange number.
At the top right of the figure, a black capital letter "N" is shown superimposed on an upward-pointing vertical black arrow, denoting the compass direction. A horizontal dashed black line at the bottom of the figure is labeled "STATE LINE." A legend is shown at the bottom of the page. It shows a white disc superimposed on a black square, labeled "JUNCTION OF TWO INTERSTATE ROUTES"; the numeral "11" inside a black circle, labeled "INTERCHANGE NUMBER"; the notation "9A," labeled "EXIT NUMBER"; a black dot superimposed on a vertical black line next to the numerals "115," labeled "REFERENCE LOCATION SIGN," and an Interstate route shield with the numeral "203," labeled "INTERSTATE ROUTE NUMBER."
The mainline route, Interstate 3, is shown as running roughly north-south from the state line to the top of the figure. The numbering of interchanges along the Interstate 3 mainline starts at a diamond interchange at the southern end of Interstate 3 and proceeds north. The mainline route shows the following interchanges and numbered reference location signs:
The loop route, Interstate 203, is shown running in a semicircular direction beginning at the junction of Interstate 3 with Interstate 203 near the bottom of the figure, looping to the east of the mainline, and then circling back to the west and joining the mainline farther north. The numbering of interchanges along the Interstate 203 loop starts at the junction with the Interstate 3 mainline and proceeds along its path back to the mainline:
The spur route, Interstate 103, is shown as running roughly east-west. The Interstate 103 spur is shown as beginning at Interchange 13 on the Interstate 3 mainline and running east of the mainline. The Interstate 103 spur shows the following interchanges and numbered reference location signs:
The National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) funded research and development for this new edition of the DDI guide. Kittelson engineers supported Institute for Traffic Research and Education (ITRE) staff at North Carolina State University over the course of seven years to create the finished product. Our goal was divided into three objectives:
The first phase of this research and development included looking to past installations of DDIs to understand the signal timing schemes being used. This aided our understanding of best practices and lessons learned to consider for future design operations and optimization. From there, gathering insight and information from design, maintenance, and operation leaders informed our team not only of overall best practices, but also ways to develop new control strategies to improve challenging situations.
A key consideration over the course of developing the guide was formulating general guidance that would apply to future DDIs across the board. Because interchanges are complex and full of individual moving parts, a generalized approach was necessary so that this type of interchange would be as successful as possible for all installations.
The next research goal focused on reviewing and evaluating the geometric design of the interchange, which largely included reviewing the design features and safety and operational performance of previously implemented DDIs in the United States. When this project began in 2014, only a handful of DDIs were operating within the United States. Now there are more than 100 DDIs operating throughout the county. In this phase, we determined the essential design characteristics of a DDI and how engineers should utilize those features in the design phase, and the safety and operational benefits of implementing a DDI.
We at Kittelson also had the privilege of leading the 2014 first edition of the DDI Guide, along with three other alternative intersection guidebooks on Restricted Crossing U-Turns (RCUTs), Median U-Turns (MUTs), and Displaced Left Turns (DLTs). In parallel research, we are looking forward to the release of NCHRP 07-25 on Pedestrian and Bicyclist Safety at Alternative and Other Intersections and Interchanges, which will be published as NCHRP Report 948 in the coming weeks.
Diverging Diamond Interchange Informational Guide, Second Edition is now available on the Transportation Research Board website. Congratulations to all contributors for an amazing accomplishment that will serve travelers and transportation professionals throughout the country! For more information, or questions related to the project, feel free to reach out to Shannon Warchol, Bastian Schroeder, or Pete Jenior.
The primary purpose of an interchange is to eliminate conflicts caused by vehicle crossings and to minimize conflicting left-turn movements. Interchanges are provided on all Interstate highways, freeways, other routes on which full access control is required, and at other locations where traffic cannot be controlled safely and efficiently by intersections at grade.
