2. FREEWAY ENTRANCE AND EXIT


3. RAILROAD-HIGHWAY SEPARATION
• The highway-rail grade crossing is unique in that it constitutes the
intersection of two transportation modes, which differ in both the
physical characteristics of their traveled ways and their
operations.
• Grade separation is the name given to a method of aligning a 
junction of two or more surface transport axes at different
heights (grades) so that they will not disrupt the traffic flow on
other transit routes when they cross each other. The
composition of such transport axes does not have to be uniform;
it can consist of a mixture of roads, footpaths, railways, canals,
or airport runways. Bridges (or overpasses or flyovers), tunnels
(or underpasses), or a combination of both can be built at a
junction to achieve the needed grade separation.
