Eastern Pennsylvania’s first diverging diamond intersection will open to motorists Monday morning at Routes 222 and 322 in Ephrata Township. The $10.9 million project creates a traffic pattern that aims to minimize the ways drivers enter or leave the path of other drivers, referred to as “conflict points.” Conflict points are the most common sites of car crashes, according to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation. A prime example is when a car turns left across oncoming traffic and gets T-boned, said Dave Thompson, a spokesman at PennDOT. “The key safety improvement is you’re removing your conflict point, which is your left turns … because we actually put you on the other side of the road,” PennDOT project manager Dave Fratangeli said when the agency unveiled the plan in 2017.
