Because two different roads meet at this intersection, they form a cross that provides four different directions for a driver to travel.

At a busy intersection, drivers must take turns to continue on one of the roads, since many cars are approaching the intersection from all direction.

Though we expect an intersection in America to have stop lights to direct the traffic, these traffic busy crossroads often have no such safety measures in India.

The dirt path I walk to school every day eventually crosses paths with another road, forming an intersection that looks like the letter T.

In the sense that we are all walking our own path in life, you come to an intersection every time you meet another person, with your paths crossing one another.
