Well, I finally found out how to end a highway.  First you go to the highway you want to end.  The highway has to be ground level though.  Then you drag a avenue to "end" the highway and start an avenue.  If you have an elevated highway, you can turn it into ground level highway using the network download from the modd section.  Here's a picture if you want them:

(well i have to load the picture first, i'll post it later.

Yeah, that's a pretty good way to end a highway. Sometimes I'll convert it to one-way roads and end that with a road.

I'll mostly connect the end of a highway with one-way roads to a roundabout

How to end highways

I don't click on much. But this gathered my attention. I figured I would come in here and see a new mod, or a great way to use your transportation network... at least a new lot that ended a highway in some cool manor.

To this "How to end Highways" I say.... Welcome to Simtropolis Jeffo

Off Topic, but why do I sometimes see parts of pic's blacked out by certain posters (Like above by Dusk Trooper). My guess is to protect someone's BAT's or other custom data???

My highways usually start as avenues with Highway Interchanges and then as demand grows I place Highways over the avenues, this means mine rarely dead end to no-where and if they do it just turns around with an avenue. When my Highways dead end to a road (most of the time) it turns to an avenue and then to an intersection usually with a 1-Way Street or Avenue. I also make sure to switch it from Highway to Avenue soon-enough to keep the turn lanes.

Yea, a Y-stack usually does the trick. I usually just transition smoothly into an avenue if I have a ground highway.

It's funny it's not something that I have ever really done. My highways don't end. My region has a series of highways ringing it and connecting off to simnation while other highways move in from the ring to the core. The highways that don't continue past the ring just T intersection it with the ring highway. So most my highways that have ends are actually in the urban area where they I just transition them into avenues.
