Definition: Location of midpoint of interchange (e.g., crossing route) on the second intersecting route (e.g. route-milepost).

Attributes: Route and location descriptors (e.g., route and milepoint or spatial coordinates). Must be consistent with other MIRE files for linkage.

See point A in Figure 17 for additional detail.

HPMS/Tool Requirements: None
