In CRE jargon, what is meant by a “hard corner”? Concerning roads and intersections.. Is there soft corners?
As title says. Just looking for intersection types

Soft corners conceptually exist but doesn't get said as much as just plain \"corner.\" Some businesses seem to prefer the hard corner. Others like the soft corner because suburban street planning requires access from major roadways be setback a ways from the major intersections, so they prefer to have customers get in and out easier.\n\nHere's an example of a hard corner, and what could be labeled a soft corner. You can see how there is another access drive to the north of the soft corner example, but it has reduced access due to the median.\n\n[Hard Corner](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Memphis,+TN/@35.2051151,-89.792712,59m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x87d57e1eea439745:0xd193f315601ab6fe!8m2!3d35.1495343!4d-90.0489801)\n\n[Soft Corner](https://www.google.com/maps/place/8110+Stage+Rd,+Memphis,+TN+38133/@35.2022092,-89.7929506,59m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m13!1m7!3m6!1s0x87d57e1eea439745:0xd193f315601ab6fe!2sMemphis,+TN!3b1!8m2!3d35.1495343!4d-90.0489801!3m4!1s0x887f9df2ed3e9827:0x7bdb004409f16578!8m2!3d35.2050131!4d-89.7926483)", "replies": [{"id": "iclofbw", "text": "I see what you mean about the difference but for my specific need I\u2019m still a little confused.

The Primary Road is a major arterial roadway. Secondary Road looks like it wraps around your property, but does not really carry a lot of traffic and doesn't continue past Primary. I would not call this a hard corner, but I've seen more generous labels in some other marketing materials. :-)\n\nBTW - I used [iPhotoDraw](http://www.iphotodraw.com/) to mock up that design in case that's a helpful tool for you.", "replies": [{"id": "iclqh0i", "text": "Thanks for the input.
