In this diagram, the intersection of the two lines is easy to see.

この図では、二本の線の交差を赤い点で示します。ko no zu de wa ni pon no sen no kō sa o aka i ten de shime shi ma su

A red dot shows the intersection of the two lines in this diagram.

It describes separate lines or paths meeting and crossing at a shared place.

二つ以上の線や道などが一つの場所で交わること。futa tsu i jō no sen ya michi na do ga hito tsu no ba sho de maji wa ru ko to

The Sino-Japanese compound combines 交 (kō, "cross") and 差 (sa, "difference") to describe lines that cross.

Japanese traffic announcements use 交差 (kōsa) when describing roads that meet or cross, so the word appears in practical travel information.
