[[File:Four-ramp.png|thumb|250px|right|A diagram of a diamond interchange, the most common kind of four-ramp interchange. All traffic attempting to enter the blue highway northbound will enter via ramp 'X.']]A '''four-ramp interchange''' is the most common interchange in the [[United States]] where a non controlled access highway intersects a controlled access highway: commonly an interstate/turnpike or other type of freeway.
'''Four-ramp interchanges'''  are desirable for hitchikers because they require all traffic attempting to head a given direction on a freeway to enter the freeway on a single ramp. The hitchhiker stands on this ramp and is then exposed to all possible traffic entering the freeway.
This is in contrast to a [[split-traffic interchange]] which splits traffic entering the freeway into multiple ramps.
