noun
intersection; crossroad; cross streets
Refers to a place where two or more roads meet. Slightly more formal or technical than 交差点 (こうさてん), which is the everyday word for a street intersection.
この交差路は事故が多いので注意が必要だ。
This intersection has many accidents, so caution is needed.
地図で交差路を確認してから出発した。
I checked the crossroads on the map before departing.
Compound of 交差 (こうさ, 'crossing') + 路 (ろ, 'road'). The kanji 交差 itself combines 交 (mix, intersect) and 差 (difference, crossing).
