An abstract network hierarchy is defined which allows us to describe the important properties of an urban traffic network layer by layer. The cellular automata lattice is extended with three additional types of cells that permit the modelling of conflict points at intersections. A supporting model of vehicle behaviour based on traffic cellular automata is also extended with rules that allow vehicles to move properly within the extended cellular automata lattice. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{cellular automata; construction; intersection; urban traffic network; cellular lattice; conflict points} \itemli{doi:10.1007/978-3-642-33350-7\_83} \end
