Crossroads is a place where two or more roads intersect. It can also be seen as a metaphor for a decision point in life.

While roundabouts are typically efficient and safe, there are a few drawbacks to their design. For example, roundabouts can be confusing for drivers who are not familiar with them, and they can be especially challenging for large vehicles.

DETAILS: 1.5-hour class on the “Drones as First Responders Act” that was signed into law by Illinois Governor JB Pritzker on June 16, 2023. It takes effect immediately. The hosts for this training session will go into detail about the new law including what is permitted and prohibited, reporting requirements, violations, information retention, and more when it comes to law enforcement using drones. There will also be a question and answer section of the training.

T-intersections are the most common type of intersection. They are formed when one road meets another road at a 90-degree angle. When approaching a T-intersection, drivers on the through road must yield to drivers on the cross road. Drivers on the cross road may have a stop sign or yield sign.

Roundabouts are a type of circle intersection in which traffic flows in a counterclockwise direction around a central island. Roundabouts are designed to improve traffic flow and reduce congestion and accidents at intersections.

The second training we are co-hosting with the College of DuPage - Homeland Security Training Institute. It's being held in person from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. on Thursday, June 29 at the College of DuPage in Glen Ellyn.

Y-intersections are less common than T-intersections. They are formed when two roads meet at a Y-shape. The point of the Y is called the stem. When approaching a Y-intersection, drivers on the stem must yield to drivers on the branches. Drivers on the branches may have a stop sign or yield sign.

An intersection is a point where two or more roads meet. Depending on the type of intersection, drivers may have to yield, stop, or go. It is important to know how to properly approach and navigate an intersection to prevent accidents.
