(single) level road junctions
höhengleiche Straßeneinmündungen


Explanation:
level road-junction (n.) (British)Bahnübergang, Kreuzzug auf ebener Erde, niveaugleiche Kreuzung, Niveaukreuzung

level road-junction (n.) [British]
wdn grade crossing, level crossing, level road-junction — Bahnübergang, niveaugleiche Kreuzung, Niveaukreuzung
http://dictionary.sensagent.com/level road junction/en-de/

In 1991 J. Ploeger and T. Oenema [6] suggested that these concepts be applied as follows:

Traffic square: ‘Single-level road junction where the traffic is handled in a circular flow’.

Roundabout: ‘Traffic square on which the traffic has right of way and to which roads connect radially’.

In CROW publication 126 ‘Uniformity in roundabouts’ these concepts remain essentially the same. The verbatim text in Appendix I ‘Concepts and abbreviations’ is as follows:

Traffic square: Single-level road junction where the traffic is handled in a circular flow4 and that is indicated by board D1 (RVV 1990).

Roundabout: Square where the traffic on the square has right of way and to which roads connect radially.

Ganz das Gegenteil sind kreuzungsfreie Verkehrsknoten, wie z.B. folgende:

It also plans to construct an entirely new two-level road junction at Stochna Gara;

Multi-level road junction A road junction where at least one road passes over another.

Wenn roundabout (Kreisverkehr) also eine Sonderform eines traffic squares ist, muß dieser allgemein als Verkehrsknoten bezeichnet werden, gleich ob die Verkehrsführung rechteckig, kreisförmig oder spagetthiförmig erfolgt. Hauptsache, es gibt eine Einbahnstraßenregelung.

(single) level road junction könnte also auch als (höhengleicher) Verkehrsknoten mit Einbahnstraßenregelung umschrieben werden.
