Show us Your Interchanges!

[BLANKBLANK 4,414]

After studying these pictures and looking up the legal maximum height limits for lorries in the UK (about 5m), I realised that I can have L2 overpasses going under L1 (of 7.5m) underpasses- without the truck automata on L1 hitting the L2 overpass. This is going to make my T-interchanges a lot more easier to make!

A new trumpet variant interchange I made for the downtown area of a new city. Id like you guys' help with two matters:

 

1. What should I name the city?

 

2. What could be improved here?

 

As always, enjoy!

After visiting Stockholm, I felt like starting a new region, and this is the first tile of it.

Nice, now build the Essingeleden

[timmie 988]

Haha, I thought about it, but is such a thing even possible in Simcity?

Inspired by Moonraker's design a few posts back.

I can tell you from experience that that diagonal MIS that goes under both bridges was probably a huge pain in the rear. Looks fantastic, and very compact! Very very well done! my *only* suggestion is that you use the long transition on the level 2 mis. Cars are going to have a mighty bit of trouble climbing that steep of an incline.

Cool!  Glad to see I inspired something with one of my interchanges, and you did a great job.

An interchange inspired by this one in St. Clair Shores, MI:

Nice workaround the lack of a on-slope diagonal transition or a elevated smooth curve

Thanks. And thanks again for giving me the idea to recreate real-life interchanges

This turned out quite well!

This is one of the first interchanges I've made. Maxis Cloverleaf to show how unrealistic those things are.

Sorry to interrupt, but i live walking distance from that interchange .

[11241036 5,096]

This is a simple interchange at a 90° highway curve. To the top I'm planning to build a city with approx. 15,000 inhabitants. The easiest solution for the off-ramp to the bottom of the picture was to construct a tunnel, but it's not functional yet (the city to the bottom hasn't been developed yet at all, anyway). And since I didn't know a better way to build ramps to the right, and I needed a bridge for the farming vehicles to cross the highway, I decided to build a simple semi-diamond interchange in order to allow my cars to drive to the right. Furthermore, I had to regard the fact that this last bit of natural chestnut forest is being protected, so I can't build ramps there.

 

Hope you like it. Suggestions on how to improve this interchange, as well as how to decorate it, are welcome.

 

 

And this is a view of the same interchange turned by 90°.

 

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Not bad, curves can be hard to build on.

However I think that semi diamond is too small, especially for a rural area. You could use a FARHW to make the MIS two tiles away from the main highway and use an earthen ramp.

Just my two cents.

[Durfsurn 539]

Because you didn't really want to go anywhere, did you?

Thanks for the idea. I will give it a thought.

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Now to showcase some of my own work.


Land constraints can present you with nifty works once it forces you to work away from the traditional diamond. Building on curves is hard but pays off.



Overview of the general area.



Building an interchange in this area has been my ideal ever since I started this region. Only today did I figure out how to accomplish this. Relatively compact as needs to be for the area!

[Indiana Joe 1,750]

You go, Yoshi.  Kill that grid.  Show no mercy

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Going for the Melbourne method of dealing with level crossings, eh, Yoshi?

 

Looks good though! I'm impressed

Which is, not at all?

[Durfsurn 539]

Nice interchanges Yoshi.

On the level crossing thing, according to the government on the tv they are "improving" all level crossings. Aka adding more traffic lights

Put this way: the government has only removed three crossings; two in Mitcham and one in Springvale.

But I have plans to grade separate! Might do a journal entry on it.

I look forward to it! (You do seem to have a trash problem in your city, though )

Don't worry, I fixed it as for some reason my export deal stopped.

I decided to make a high-res mosaic of my latest interchange.
