Highway Interchange Contest

[SimMaster 17]

This one took an hour to make:

 

 

One part of the highway just ends...

Heres one that I used in my downtown area.  It's in the best downtown contest also lol.  Seven interstates from the surrounding areas intersect here.

 

 

 

I hope you all can see it well.  If you want to see more screen shots then I'll post them up, just let me know.

wow Postal cool interchange! Nicest fully functional interchange I've ever seen!

 

...and to amdinside: The whole point of a "bottleneck" interchange would be to be a nightmare

Trex in Denver CO

This is the T-rex project site for Denver. We are adding a lone each way and light rail system. Its costing about 4.7 billion or so and is taking 5 years to complete this southbound project. It is a welcome site considering Denver is right behind LA for worst traffic. When this is done the next project starts whichi is north bound I-25 which will go to boulder and cost about 3.7 billion. Durning that project we might also be expanding I-70 East bound all the way to our airport so that way you could take a train from DIA to downtown denver. Go to the link up there to see some of the stuff they are doing.

WOW!! thats one good-looking and unique interchange!!

[comoneymaker 0]

its differant and i think is kinda cool looking...but can you imagain the traffic backups when 4 highways meet on a small little road? lol ick

[UrbanLegend 63]

Here's my own humble submission.  It's a major interchange north of one of my largest cities.  It consists of a major beltway (elevated E/W), an expressway to the downtown area (N/S part), a highway to a satellite city to the East (the avenue/ground HW E/W part), and a major rail station with bus and El/subway access.

[amdinside 2]

 Ok here is one from the game that is a game in itself. Try and help the Sim living in the upper left corner get to his job in the lower right corner. I present the SC4 highway maze:

 

 

 

[A Killer Ewok 2]

[darren 7]

Man, that is nuts .....that's actually hooked up, right? I'm going crazy here

[zwanneman 0]

Here's my answer. Not sure if it's the shortest

[cammo2003 20]

I'd be interested to see the commute time for that city, amd

 

Or have you already demolished it?

[amdinside 2]

A Killer Ewok: That won't work, it just goes around with no exit at the top.
Zwanneman: Yes that is one way to get there. There are actually a number of routes because I put no dead ends in, they loop back into each other.
Cammo2003: I guess it was too hard for the game to figure out because I could not get a house until I built an industrial section right next to it and then demolished it. So the house actually has a NJZ.

Very interesting idea's and concepts. Keep em' commin' love the work you all put in.

[Daeley 46]

ha! beat this! it's the ---Multi-Highway Cloverleaf--- (or that's what I call it )

 

 

pretty fly huh?

[simmax 0]

It's simple... and There must be traffic jams here, with the stop lights... I prefer the maze, but this intersection is interesting as well.

[Daeley 46]

hehe I challenge you (or anyone else) to create a multi-highway cloverleaf without traffic lights

[+Guest]

eh, this isnt really an interchange, sorta. Here is just my crazy highway system remotely based on dallas's downtown area




The inner loop (blue) connects all the incoming highways and some highways dead end to avenue and run through downtown. The the outer loop (red) serves as another route for later when going through downtown isnt very wise. basically, I have a spider web.


The high five is a damn beast... it owns east LA!

[ruskinator219 0]

how do you get one way highways??(elevated and ground)

[Daeley 46]

ruskinator, read my post about multi-highways or do a forum search

here's a multi-highway cloverleaf without traffic lights! (kind of a double post... but hey )

I wish I had highway interchange skills, lack of coordination and money(sort of).

[Daeley 46]

hehe well if you wanna design an intersection and wanna have some extra cash you can use cheats to place some money buildings, or you can place a money tree from the LEX

[MTLT_17 26]

Hey umm these are all very nice, but I must stress that I will be cutting back on the final entry date. The final entry date will now by the 12:00 midnight on the 14 of January. Any other entries past that point will not be accepted.

 

The reason for this move is the fact that there may not be a large poll time to choose. Due to Simtropolis Money problems. So keep those entries coming and don't forget to enter your entries.https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/images/smilies/1.gif>
