  • Description: This paper provides policy makers with an objective assessment on the possibility for implementing an unconventional arterial intersection design, the Superstreet, for improving safety and operational characteristics for an existing signalized intersection. The signalized intersection selected for analysis was Tabarbour, located in Amman, Jordan. Tabarbour intersection is considered one of the most significant signalized intersections in Amman. The intersection currently suffers from the following problems: long queues, delays and excessive emissions. SYNCHRO microscopic simulation software was used for signal optimization of the current conventional intersection. VISSIM microscopic simulation software was used to analyze and compare the Superstreet design to the conventional design. It was found that the proposed Superstreet reduced the average delay per vehicle by up to 87% and reduced the maximum queue length by almost 97%. This resulted in improving the level of service from F to C. Finally, five year future traffic demand analysis was performed; it was found that the Superstreet design didn’t perform as expected under heavy traffic volume.
