My method was developed for Israel, but can be applied for other countries with analogous problems. Nevertheless, I’m sure that it is a problem of private cars ownership now can’t satisfy present and future progressive transportation paradigm. I have my own understanding of that problem and very economical decisions of it as for cities as for province, isn’t needed in province roads at all, and their costly managing

Every working days, when a mass of cars owners go from their province settlements to cities and when go back to home, we can see terrible traffic-jams on the roads  destroying nerves and normal living of the said people.

If being a problem of twice a day only, it is can’t be solved by traditional ways of grade separation, because its cost can contradict its very low capacity, while at grade road separation can’t help.

It can help my understanding that problem and my decisions, can solve the problem for all Israel by fanny expense not more than USD 300,000 forever and in a month of building works including geodesy and geology and design ones.

Above-mentioned roads are used the main time for personal cars traffic, and much more seldom for trucks.

I’ll explain here my method for three- or four-ways intersections and right-hand traffic, but it can be modified for other cases.

Just before the junction the road is turn for one lane road of two directions, while adding two narrow side roads for cars, then turn perpendicularly to the both road’s direction underground with 2.2 meter height and no more than three meter width and covered there to bear the said trucks weight, while the said side roads can be open from above and being sloped at first down and then to upwards after passing the road’s lanes.
It will provide practically uninterrupted traffic on both directions as for cars as for trucks. And I see here one problem only to save the cars from hooligans and from idiots and against them can serve a steel lattice and additional light cover. The junction has to be controlled by right-of-way mode, and can be uncontrolled intersection or yield controlled intersection or stop-controlled one or signed-controlled one, depended on real traffic.
