I disagree. Frankly, the old interchange article was a mess in terms of structure. An interchange is inherently different from an intersection due to the presence of a grade separation and ramps. A basic intersection might cost only $ 100,000 (the cost of paving the intersecting roads and adding a

which with it's new title does not imply that road interchanges only belong to motorways. Since your comment, the article has been tidied up, but could still benefit from more material about road intercections (not road interchanges). Even so, now that the article is split, it makes it easier to link
394:
To me it is not clear what was gained by removing almost all content form this article. Much of it was not specific to motorways (where it was moved). In many cities also ordinary roads have all kinds of constructions to separate traffic. It's really not an improvement. We should either bring it back

stop sign, limit lines, and perhaps a few other safety signs), while a full-fledged interchange costs anywhere from $ 20 million to $ 1 billion (e.g., the
Macarthur Maze reconfiguration in Oakland after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake), depending upon the size and number of roads to be connected.

I've expanded this article, adding a diagram of an example intersection and three new sections. My information is based on observations I've made in the United States. Somebody else can add more info on intersections in other parts of the world. If there are no objections, I may take out the

A similar merge proposal was made about 10 years ago but was rejected because the proposal included interchanges. This is a more general topic and the two terms (junction and intersection) are synonymous - the difference being which side of the ocean one lives on.
476:
I supported the split, and I prefer to keep interchange and intersection separate. Pardon my bluntness, but this merge proposal is one of the dumbest I have ever seen on
Knowledge. I am also posting this response to the other articles' talk

Also called a windmill. None of them seems to have more than a few google matches, so unless someone can show evidence of official usage of the term, I removed the terms (and removed turbine, since it's covered in stack).
747:
I'm leaning oppose, but not too sure. The salient question for me is whether there's enough to say about road junctions that applies to both intersections and interchanges for the umbrella junction article to be notable.
629:
The most recent edit removed the term "at-grade", which distinguishes an intersection from the other type of road junction, a grade-separated interchange. It also adds the ambiguous term, "conflicting traffic" (cf.

go into the fact that right turn lanes/bays can exist on right-hand drive roads. Also, the caption doesn't make it clear (except by implication) which street is "North-South" and which is "East-West".
626:
Prior to the most recent edit, the lede of this article was confusing, and introduced terms which should have been linked, but were not. Some of these terms circularly point back to this article.
