Show us Your Interchanges!

New urban interchange of mine 

 

 

 

nice!!! Love it!

Gotta ask though, whats that building? some stadium?

 

 

Well thanks It is indeed a stadium called the LTU Arena, which can be found here: http://27.pro.tok2.com/~chilitomato2/

kingtai: If you want to keep the tunnels, you could also use the FLEX Ramp type D1 piece and put it one tile nearer the tunnel entrance. As the FLEX piece has no MIS starter, there should be enough space to put the wide 90° curve in afterwards.

 

 

Thank you for the useful tip, I will try that on my next interchange

 

I've abandoned that city from my previous picture, lately it seems all I do is practice building transport networks, with some towns in between when I get bored

 

I want to try making something similar to yours, ill post here with results and hopefully you can give me some pointers if needed.

Experimenting with FLUPs..

This took a while due to the fairly difficult location of the interchange...

Beautiful interchange, Mushy!

i tend to go to extreme realism and make giant interchanges.

 

here's a cloverleaf

Well, the size is one thing but the layout is the other... A cloverleaf benefits from being larger because it allows the indirect ramps to have much wider curves that can be traversed at higher speeds and have more capacity. This is not the case if the loops are pretty much rectangular, with long straight stretches and then 90 degree curves. There's no benefit in that. Also, there are no true acceleration/deceleration lanes. To have them, the lane should actually branch off at the ramp, not continue before/after it. They provide safety and traffic flow; imagine trying to get off of a ramp and onto the highway, but there's a lot of traffic in the rightmost lane that's moving a lot faster than you. Worst case, you have to stop and wait, which is not the point of a grade-separated interchange. Hope these points help you out a bit.

Also it doesn't have to be suuuuuuper big! =)
I kind of like how these are built, there are a lot of them in Northrhine-Westphalia, Germany

very nice interchange, Jolt!

Generic PS cloverleaf, covered in traffic generator lots:

 

Who even approved this?

[McDuell 301]

Some new interchanges from me, most of them are standard designs. Sorry, no grandes complications today.

 

Normally not really a fan of cloverleaves because of the weaving, I nonetheless like the design of them. So here we go:

 

 

Not quite as symmetrical as before, but this one is completely de-weaved instead:

 

 

A 2-quadrant cloverstack with a narrow footprint. Not meant for heavy traffic though:

 

 

Diagonal Pinavia style:

 

 

A simple T-interchange that I like for its FARHW branch:

 

 

While we are at FA: Not a full interchange this time, but a junction with a local network:

 

 

And last but not least, a windmill:

As always, incredible. I'd dare say flawless.

I'm actually very happy you posted these, it will be easier to try and make one of these than trying to copy one of your more complex ones.

Great pics McDuell.

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Those interchanges are incredible! Makes me want to go back and finish my freeway network!

I don't even know what this is supposed to be:

Beautiful interchanges, like always! I might copy some of them in one of my regions

[Johan_91 179]

McDuell! You have the most beautiful interchanges there I have ever seen to this game!!! Absolutely stunning!!! =D

Love this, that really is a lot of weaving

 

What are those wonderfully tall street lights you use?

Cool stuff.

[Haljackey 17,398]

McDuell, you never fail to impress! I especially like the de-weaved clover. Simple, yet complex at the same time. Great work as always!

That would be these:

 

Although, I am actually phasing away from them. I am starting to use a shorter version:

Highway exit near Lake Taona, first of its kind in Maenia.

Very unique highway exit, TPD!

That's great. Thanks Haljackey

Borrowing an interchange from McDuell...

 

 

I did this one a while ago, not sure if I ever showed it publicly.

 

 

This was a WIP:

@ Shadow Assassin: The last one was good in particular. Good adaption to the terrain.

[Charlie_Zane 963]

Those are some amazing interchanges, Shadow! Nice work

Nice design.  Hopefully, the wizards over on the NAM team will be able to give us something like this - I've seen these in person and they're quite neat (Keystone Parkway, Carmel, IN):

Those may not be anything special in and of themselves, but they are the "mundane" varieties of interchanges that everybody builds and of those, they must be the smoothest and realistic that anybody has yet created.  Consider the bar raised.
