What types of settlement pattern would develop around an intersection between two major roads?

Answer 1

Starts off as a node, with a few small businesses at the intersection. Houses may accompany these businesses.

As tge settlement developes, it spreads along the main roads forming a 'star' - with four points.

If the settlement continues to develope, the areas between the points of the star will fill in.

There are many 'if and buts' associated with this answer. However this is a starting point.
