>>1582778Purely traffic-wise:
Offset/staggered T-intersection is a standard design on rural or any priority junction. RHD left-right is preferred to let vehicles cross than turn naturally without holding a left turn lane on the major road.
Urban signalized ones are good for heavy turning traffic.
Both have fewer potential vehicle conflict points than a four-way intersection obviously.
>>1582790Ignoring that shit, if anything, they deter, and are designed for low through vehicle traffic pretty well.
Also good for signal failures I guess.
