Q) Are there headlight concerns, since traffic is
directly in front of each other before the crossovers?
A) No. The direct headlight approach is a further distance
than a common scenario where a left turn lane is directly
opposite the opposing left turn. The headlights do not affect
the crossover movements since vehicles are angled away from
each other at the crossovers. Putting up any type of headlight
shields (also known as glare screens) on the curb is ill-advised
since there will be a in safety due to poor sight distance.

• Findings• Mn/DOT proposed diamond interchange
layout reaches maximum capacity at 40% build-out.
• Proposed DDI layout reaches maximum capacity at 79% of build-out.
►DDI Concept was ultimately selected by Mn/DOT.
