  3. What does a diverging diamond interchange (DDI) give vehicles?

    Top view of an interchange where a cross road passes over a freeway on a bridge and its two directions of traffic cross to opposite sides at signal-controlled points at each end of the bridge, with ramps to the freeway and several cars.
    • A stop sign at the end of every ramp
    • Roundabouts at the end of each freeway ramp
    • Separate lanes that keep trucks off the ramps
    • Uninterrupted movements onto the freeway ramps
    Show answer

    Correct answer: Uninterrupted movements onto the freeway ramps

    A DDI crosses traffic to the opposite side of the road across the interchange so vehicles have uninterrupted movements onto the freeway ramps.
