The page quote (\
to:
The page quote (\\\"The Road Not Taken\\\") clearly describes a \\\"fork in the road\\\" as a symbol of an important decision, as opposed to a crossroads as a scene of magical rituals or encounters. Either the quote is not very good, or ForkInTheRoad is simply a different trope from AtTheCrossroads.

It seems this is actually two tropes mashed into one: Crossroads as a magic place where you meet the devil or other supernatural beings, and a road fork where you make a decision on where you want to go. A crossroads of the magical kind is usually an intersection of two roads, which means that *four* lanes lead away from it. Whereas a road fork is one road diverging into two, i.e. *three* lanes leading away from it. I am not aware that the magical qualities associated with crossroads in folklore also apply to mere road forks.
