Parallel flow intersection

Are there good sources describing this in more "lay" terms? I find the patent application hard to follow. Just looking at some examples, the CFI seems to cross early, run parallel to opposing lanes, then turns. The PFI on the other hand seems more like a regular left turn lane, crosses opposing traffic closer to the intersection itself then runs parallel and opposite to the destination road, before merging with the destination road at a traffic signal. Is there a clearer description of PFIs? --Chaswmsday (talk) 10:50, 28 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

There's one known intersection. Yes, AIIR refers it. [1] --Hans Haase (有问题吗) 14:28, 30 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This comment is nearly 10 years stale, but for a visual: the PFI mentioned in the article is located here: [2]. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:44, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Video is just plain useless

The video shows someone going straight through an intersection after briefly stopping at a light and turning the camera left and right quickly as if at a stop sign. If you're going to go to the intersection with the intent of filming how it works....how about actually going through the part of the intersection that applies to the article? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bpf007 (talk • contribs) 16:07, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I also felt this way when viewing the video. David Spector (talk) 23:40, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Video no longer works

The video that's supposed to show a person going through an intersection is not playing. I've tried it on a couple browsers. Can anyone else confirm? Golfulus Shampoo (talk) 18:53, 22 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I'm guessing that the video was removed. David Spector (talk) 23:41, 26 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Usage section better as a table?

I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to change the usage section into a table for better readability. The columns would be as follows: Country, City, Roads, Opening date, Coordinates, Notes.

Any thoughts? RandomAmericanTeen (talk) 13:52, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seems reasonable. This sort of information doesn't lend itself well to prose, and I think tables are better than bullet lists. Sources could be added to the Notes column to keep it tidy. Ivanvector (^Talk/_Edits) 14:45, 17 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
