Usage Note

Incrocio covers both a road intersection (girare all'incrocio — turn at the crossroads) and a biological or culinary cross (un incrocio tra due razze — a crossbreed). The verb is incrociare. In traffic contexts it is interchangeable with crocevia, though incrocio is more common in everyday speech for a simple street intersection.

Examples

"Svolta a sinistra al prossimo incrocio."

Natural Translation
