Stop / Yield (Two-Way)
INT-SYD-05 Situational / Discouraged Intersections & Crossings
Stop / Yield (Two-Way)
An intersection where only the minor-street approaches stop or yield, and the major street proceeds without control.
Typical at: Undeveloped Rural Suburban Compact
Urban is an edge case. Core is an unlikely pairing.
#Design notes
Two-way stop or yield control is the lowest-volume intersection treatment in the Commonway System's set, realistic across the widest density range of any control type before tapering off past Compact, the same taper logic that applies to All-Way Stop one tier higher.1
#Related patterns
All-Way Stop (INT-AWS-04) (the reciprocal pattern, explicitly named on this page as sharing the same taper logic one tier higher)
