A 10S Highway, 3 level roundabout interchange. Just seeing if I could do it or not :)

IIRC, there are some 'volleyball interchange' pieces on the NAM ramps (not flex ones) that allow to build a very compact interchange of this type (6x6 tiles, really compact!). May you want to check them

Cool, I didn't realise, will certainly check them out because this is a pretty large interchange. Fun to build, but really too big to be really useful

That's a dizzying amount of transportation going on in that picture, and I see some very original solutions - great job!

This is something I completely recently. Was able to make this really compact using the FlexiFly Flyovers. The intent was to have a full  interchange. I put all the ramps on the inside to prevent weaving happening in the outer high speed lanes. There are 6 total ramps all of them connecting to the inner lanes QaGmWQr.png

@AprilAero ... Looks great! Everything looks smooth and you did do a good job with avoiding weaving. I would only change one portion: this area where you transition to one lane then back to two again. Just keep it two lanes to avoid that unnecessary merge.

I tried that it wasn't possible as the middle lane were turn into a 2 lane instead of a one, I tried using another piece but that white lane and the grey line didn't match up. 

 

This interchange I am calling completed , as everything with it is fine.

Hmmm I Think that is the objective, no? Why do you want that little part to be just one lane, as you have two viaducts? It's a unnecessary traffic merging

I never wanted it to be that way, it just had to be like that  as there was no other way to do it.

    Wow very nice! The only thing I can constructively criticize is that the mainline goes down to 1 lane between the ramps. Have you considered using this ramp?

    It will require widening the approaches to 6 lanes but will allow for 4 through lanes.

    In addition, I've built a new exchange.

    A rural trumpet interchange (on my new Coriland 4 region) with two RHW 4s meeting each other!
