Abstract: A method and apparatus for generating a geometric layout of a traffic intersection is disclosed. The method involves receiving intersection capacity data, where receiving includes receiving an identification of a number of intersection legs associated with the traffic intersection, receiving a lane designation designating a plurality of lanes for accommodating permitted vehicle movements between the intersection legs, each lane having at least one associated permitted vehicle movement, and receiving lane width dimensions for accommodating an expected vehicular traffic volume associated with permitted vehicle movements on each of the plurality of lanes. The method also involves generating a geometric layout of the traffic intersection by receiving orientation data defining respective orientations of each of the intersection legs.
