TRANSIT CLOVERLEAF AND FREEWAY/CLOVERLEAF SYSTEM
A freeway cloverleaf and transit cloverleaf, and system, having preferred embodiments that offer one or more of these advantages: reduced congestion and/or “weaving” in the immediate vicinity of the intersection of the two freeway routes; means for transit vehicles—and more generally all passenger carrying vehicles—to proceed to proximate transfer locations, which may be situated above the intersection, or which may be linked by elevated walkways, such that people need move only a short distance to complete a transfer from one route to another; facilitates ride sharing, car pooling and “park-and-ride,” including but not limited to scenarios where people drive to a transit facility with parking, and can complete a trip—often commuting to work—using transit; facilitates more efficient transit vehicle use, including switching among larger or smaller transit vehicles based on projected and/or real-time consumer demand; connects people and vehicles with surrounding neighborhoods, including retail and other businesses, by means of the park-and-ride and transit features; promotes biking and the use of other “people roller” technology for short trip; reduces congestion.
