¶ Adding Intersections to a Section

To filter the Intersection List, enter up to the first 4 characters of the intersections you are looking for in the search key. The list will automatically update based on each character input, and display intersection names where either cross street matches the search key input.
¶ Removing Intersections from a Section
To remove an intersection, highlight the intersection name in the Added Intersection box and click Remove, or double-click on the intersection name in the Added Intersection box. The intersection will be removed from the Added Intersection box. Hold down the CTRL or SHIFT keys while selecting from the list to highlight multiple intersections. Click Remove and the selected intersections will be removed.
