So we can run multilevel interchanges now can't we?  I'm talking it's possible to run a stack interchange with l0, l1, and l2 levels isn't it?

Yes, you've been able to do that since NAM 31, though stability has been improved in more recent NAM versions to allow for more compactness. However, beware of what you're getting into. Stacks are not easy to build; I have seen very few of them built in SC4.

Here is a classical four-way clover interchange that runs through Ernestville (which neighbors the City of Riverside to the west of it), and that took a few hours to plan and create. It also took less than an hour to put in MMP's.

Inspired from kingofsimcity's style of decorating his roadwork as well!

Nice to see a cloverleaf, although acceleration, deceleration and weaving lanes would make it perfect.

Nice work with the MMPs! One thing you need to do is add an extra lane in each direction between the two loops so that traffic to/from the loops can merge into traffic. Also, you need acceleration lanes for all onramps--always. Just a brief extra lane that gives traffic coming on the freeway a chance to merge.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.

2008, RHW-2.0 era rebuild of a Maxis Highway / RHW partial Y interchange and connections.

Nice! In this picture, however, the large 90-degree curve is going the wrong direction. You might want to fix that so that that offramp will get used. :P

    Ya someone on Youtube left a comment about it. I have since fixed it up:

    Haha, yes. And those 'oversized light towers' were actually considered 'small' compared to the 'large' version.

    Been working on this monster for a couple of hours. Now I'll just spend days decorating it, and connecting it to the yet to be build city.

    It appears you put a diagonal RHW directly over a 45-degree FlexFly. And I believe that that crossing isn't currently supported. You're going to have to re-do your interchange slightly in order to fix that. Sorry, I know it's annoying to have to rework an already completed and MMPed interchange, but I don't think it will function properly unless you do this. I'm not sure if the paths will work.
