Description: A view of the Continuous flow intersection located at the Bangerter Highway and 3500 South in West Valley City, Utah, USA. Oncoming traffic turning left cross over opposing lanes (at the far semaphore) while the thru-traffic is stopped. The left turning vehicles collect on the right (shown in the center section lanes), permitting thru-traffic and left turning vehicles to proceed through the intersection at the same time. 2 trucks turning right can be seen at the far right of the photo. Note that this type of intersection may require one more set of traffic lights for each direction using this method (one set seen here in the distance).
