I would use the symmetrical RHW 6C-4S transition.

I tried that and I think this transition looks better, contours the terrain nicely.

 

Here's a video I've made showing the entire highway bypass:

@Haljackey  Cool video , I like how you went from one tile to the next . Edited nicely . I have a couple questions though . what music is that and what highway signage are you using ? And , what terrain mod are you using ?

A rather strange invention that appeared when trying to fuse a highway and two incoming avenues inside a tunnel. I still don't know if can make that work, traffic-wise.

I wish I could show you my highway system, which is completly vanilla, but sadly I cannot show you right now. My next plans will mostly NAM, if so,  I could use some important tips on using the mod...

Ouff! Explaining the NAM isn't something you do in one post. The way I learned was to start off with the most rudimentary functions and kind of figure it out myself from there. It worked well and didn't take as long as you might think. If there's anything specific you might be wondering about, don't worry. There's always someone to ask. :)

I would really suggest watching Haljackey's Building a City from Scratch videos on YouTube. These will give you a good idea on how to use the RHW and the NAM. That's how I learned the basics of it. Note that his video series is now a few years old, so some features may have changed and new features added, but most things are still the same so you'll get a good idea of how the NAM works.

Here's a better way to do this intersection:

You'll have to use FlexFlys and extend the viaduct northward to make this work, but in the end it will look and function better than what you have here.

Refresh my memory please. Can flexfly curves cross between them? In any case, I can use 45° - diagonal - 45° to make it work.

About the strange original configuration, i was trying to use as few pylons as possible, but clearly this is much better.

No, but I think you can arrange them in such a way that they won't overlap each other. It'll look a bit different and might take up a bit more space than what I showed above, but it'll work.

Those two ramps are WAY too close to each other. You need to either get rid of one of the exits, or if you really feel that they are both necessary, use a braided ramp setup.
