Legoman, you've been a member of this site for over a year now. You should know that you shouldn't bump old threads unless you have something significant to contriubte.

Appearently the members on this site feel that this thread is no longer needed, and hence that's why it is inactive. Check the "Show us your Interchanges" and "Show us your roundaboouts/intersections" threads instead because they contain similar content found here.

"If you try to please everybody, you often times end up pleasing nobody, especially yourself. When somebody offers to do a favor for free, like making a mod for SimCity 4, you shouldn't be overly critical of something generously given to you. In other words, you shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth." - Twilight Sparkle after playing SimCity

Here's a few teasers of some new stuff I have been working on for the past little bit.

Click for full resolution!  (1920x1200)

Winding RHW through rugged terrain.

RHW/ground highway mixture.  Note the "hook" (loop) ramp to the right.

I hope you enjoyed it!  There's plenty more where that came from!

Maybe. I know this is the kind of thing that if I mess with it, it will probably make it worse 3.gif That happens on my steep hills usually. I'll see what I can do though.

Do you think it would be possible to make a double RHW-10 on each side? I'm not sure that there's a way to make an interchange on the left side of the RHW system. You can only get off and on the highway on the right side unless there has been an update.

Can I ask where I can find some more highway intersections other than the ones in the NAM?

Yes, it is possible to make an interchange on the left side, although capabilities are somewhat limited. There is only a Type-A RHW-4 ramp, but it is still there for you to use.

well, i haven't posted much, but since we're on this topic, i've been testing out a few things, and one of them is this! a six way interchange with a north south express freeway! and take into mind i haven't added the roads and avenues and overpasses, i challenge someone here to make something more complicated than this!

Anyone know how to split the highway parts up? I see some of you are able to like divide up the highway lanes and put like a medium in the middle.

I think you are talking about what is known as the double decker highway. It looks like an elevated highway with half a ground highway on both sides? If that's what you are talking about then it's quite easy. Simply drag two ground level highways right next to each other. The drag an elevated highway between them and BAM! You have the double decker highway.
