Directional Interchange A directional interchange is placed at an intersection of two highways where a high volume of traffic desires to transfer between only two legs of the interchange. Directional interchanges have increased ramp speed and capacity and require less space, when compared to a conventional cloverleaf interchange, but they are more costly to construct due to an increased number of ramps.
