Just finished building a 6 lane avenue which transitions into a RHW-6C to go over a rail line.

Edit: I decided to just go with it and complete the avenue. Made a mosaic to display it because why not? :P

This is a variant of the super street intersections (no direct left turns from the main highway).

Hm, I can only imagine through-traffic flowing terribly. I'd always design interchanges so that through traffic that doesn't plan on leaving the highway and just goes forward flows as easily as possible without things like cars stopping to make turns. This is the reason for acceleration and deceleration lanes you see on many european highway systems and it's the reason why 90°-junctions are uncommon since cars have to slow down on the passing highway a lot to make the turn, obstructing the traffic on it.

Edit: Oh good god, I just realised how amazingly the christmas hat fits on my George Constanzo avatar. :D:D:D:D:D:D

Interchanges like that are typically found on lower capacity secondary expressways in the U.S., where traffic volume doesn't merit the construction of proper interchanges.

Hm, I guess then my point of view is a little different, since minor expressways don't really exist like that over here. Thanks for the info. :)

Most of Redwolf’s highways are not up to motorway standard.

The east-west expressway has several level grade intersections such as the one pictured here.

Although this is the only at-grade intersection of the north-south highway, it is one of the busiest roads in the city and naturally experiences frequent congestion. Plans are being drawn up to grade separate the highways, but full interchangeability is required with little destruction of surrounding property as possible.

(I'll assign names and route designations later)

Maximum stuff, minimum space :)

The part I like the most about this entry is how the roundabout is incorporated under the overpass. I would never have thought to do that. As I imagine how I would navigate that IRL, it's just mind-boggling.

Nice work, ROFLyoshi! I look forward to seeing the design you come up with for reconstructing that area.

Hopefully when Project Symphony comes out, I can use the roundabout interchange featured in that mod.

Here's two roundabouts in a suburban area of Astoria in the United Cities. The top one I made by accident: I was experimenting on how to connect the streets together....

Where did you get those highway walls? And BTW:

You can see the roundabout tin the left side. I'm designing the city so every part of the city would be accessible to public transport as well as by car.

Here's a crazy intersection I came up in a sandbox region; And guess what? It actually works, despite the texture glitches!

Fortress Ave is the up-down avenue, Bedford Blvd is the left-right, and Elisile Ave is the one coming in from the bottom left
