Single Point Urban Interchange (SPUI)



map

The SPUI  is a type of interchange where the arterial and ramp entrances/exits are controlled by a single traffic signal.  This type of interchange can be more efficient than a standard diamond interchange and takes up less space.   A variation of the SPUI that has been used extensively in other countries is to replace the signal with a single roundabout.
