You can choose to create corridor objects within intersections, or add to existing corridors. You can also choose not to have corridor objects in the intersection.
In order to create the intersection corridor, the following must have already been done:
- Side road profile matching
- Creation or selection of offsets and profiles
- Creation of curb returns and profiles
If the above items have not been met, then the create corridor options on the Create Intersection wizard dialog box are not available.
The following table describes the options that are provided through the Create Intersection wizard dialog box:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Create a New Corridor | Specifying this option creates a new corridor object in the intersection area. |
| Add to an Existing Corridor | Specifying this option lets you select an existing corridor object in the drawing to add to the intersection area. |
| No Corridors in the Intersection Area | When neither of the previouos two options are selected, no corridor object are created in the intersection area. |
You can specify these options during intersection object creation, using the Create Intersection wizard, or you can choose to edit these options after the intersection object has been created.
For example, you can select an existing intersection object, and click Recreate Corridor Regions from the context menu. This displays the Intersection Corridor Regions dialog box which lets you edit corridor regions on the intersection. From this dialog box, you can change the options selected for corridor object creation. After making changes on this dialog box, you need to recreate the corridor regions for the intersection area.
To create a new corridor in the intersection during creation
This procedure describes how to create a new corridor in an intersection area during intersection object creation.
- Start the Create Intersection wizard by doing one of the following:
- Click the Home tab
Create Design panelIntersection
.At the Command prompt, enter CreateIntersection. - At the command line, enter CreateIntersection.
You are prompted to pick an intersection point in the drawing.
- Click the Home tab
- Configure the first two pages of the wizard as desired, and advance to the Corridor Regions page. For more information, see Using the Create Intersection Wizard.
- On the Corridor Regions page, place a check mark in the Create Corridors in the Intersection Area check box.
- Select the Create a New Corridor option.
- Proceed with configuring the rest of the wizard options.
To add to an existing corridor in the intersection during creation
This procedure describes how to add to an existing corridor in an intersection area during intersection object creation.
- Start the Create Intersection wizard by doing one of the following:
- Click the Home tabCreate Design panelIntersection.At the Command prompt, enter CreateIntersection.
- At the command line, enter CreateIntersection.
You are prompted to pick an intersection point in the drawing.
- Click the Home tab
- Configure the first two pages of the wizard as desired, and advance to the Corridor Regions page. For more information, see Using the Create Intersection Wizard.
- On the Corridor Regions page, place a check mark in the Create Corridors in the Intersection Area check box.
- Select the Add to an Existing Corridor option.
- Select an existing corridor using the drop-down list or by picking from the drawing.
- Proceed with configuring the rest of the wizard options.
To create a new, or to add to an existing corridor in an intersection
This procedure describes how to edit an existing intersection object to either add a new corridor object to it, or to add an existing corridor object to it.
- Select an intersection object, and then click Recreate Corridor Regions.
- On the Intersection Corridor Regions dialog box, select one of the following: Create a New Corridor or Add to an Existing Corridor.
- If you selected, Add to an Existing Corridor, select an existing corridor using the drop-down list or by picking from the drawing.

- To apply the changes, click the Recreate button on this dialog box.
Note
Because this command deletes and recreates the corridors in the intersection, if you made any changes to the corridors in the intersection object, those changes will be overwritten (discarded) when the new corridors are created. For more information, see Recreating Corridor Regions in Intersections.
