Show us Your Interchanges!

[Haljackey 17,326]

Tinkered around today and made this- my first 'real' use of the basketweave pieces.

2-in-1 interchange.

-----

Also made some improvements to the interchange nearby now that I know there will be a decent distance between the two junctions.

Getting back into the rhythm of SC4 after a long break by laying out the transit network in my new region. Just finished a basic 3-way intersection.

[ncamferdam 1,490]

Alright, this is that same interchange but re-configured as the main access point for the regional airport. Really, it's just a complicated on/off ramp with some lanes dumping directly into the airport and other lanes providing surface street access to the surrounding neighborhoods.

I'll post it one more time after it's been fully dressed up and the surrounding city has grown in.

Excellent work!

Ohh the curves ^^. Here is one from me...

First Orthogonal x Diagonal interchange I have been able to make.

My full stack is now operating. I got the morning commute to use every direction but one... almost!

Certainly the holy grail of SC4 interchange design

How do you like your partially unrolled cloverleafs? Enormous?

Just practising and getting used to the NAM again. Took me longer than it should've!

Comments and feedback welcome - are there any mistakes I've made? The initial plan was to try and build one on the smallest footprint possible, but as I got into it, I was enjoying using the various 45 degree curves and making it look pretty instead!

@Map Guy That's a beautiful smooth interchange!

Looks great! It will take time yes and always takes longer than you think.

Funnily enough, I just made a similar design to yours today, putting both flyovers in one quadrant.

Let there be an interchange:

That looks great! I'm looking forward to getting stuck into some cities and creating some designs that get proper use. I love that about your work - you get full value from your layouts! The diagonal ramps didn't work for me as I wanted RHW4 ramps all round, but it would've given me more compact outer loops, but I like how you've used that to get the 90 degree turn over the top of the 270 inner loop.

Thanks! This interchange actually completes the final highway around my new airport area, and it's located right at the edge of civilization, thus the need for only single lane ramps (for now anyway.

Here it is in the region- extreme southeast.

Interchange dump of other junctions from the highway networks I have yet to show, or are now shown with traffic/development here include:

(yes these two parclo designs are different. The top one is designed with future expansion in mind. Loops are 1 tile larger)

-----

And I just rebuilt this prefab diamond into a parclo since it was insufficient to carry the traffic I estimated. I was very wrong just how much the ramps were going to get used.

When are you going to post another CJ? I 've been looking forward to it.

An experiment of newly updated FLUPs.

classic growable KOSC complex in the suburb.

The toll booth and the nearby condos of a bridge that led the way to the outside of the city.

another bridge...on the other side.

the ring road of the city center.

a simple REW interchange.

fast road toward the downtown.

low-rent housing at the bench of the river close to the freeway.

beautiful autumn of the industrial area interchange.

busy interchange right next to the downtown.

HOV of the high flow section of the freeway.

What would a good example of a T-intesection look like with a RHW running East to west and a RHW running into it from the south. A body of water is to the north of the RHW RUNNING Parallel east -west.. ?

[ncamferdam 1,490]

Same interchange I've posted before, but a bit more dressed up as promised:

[CityNut607 622]

@Leathershoes&corn

Hopefully soon!

I've made a video showcasing all the new interchanges I've shown in this thread over the past few months

 

 

[albireo38 340]

Hello everybody,

my fisrt interchange in my big region. The most difficult in this creation is to find the good section, part and adjust the height of the different areas. Indeed the interchange is built on a steep area (why making things easy if we can make it difficult (not sure for the translation )).

I need now to make it nicer with trees, retainer walls, etc...

 

 

[albireo38 340]

the global view, I have to finish the link with the other city on the west side.

 

 

[ncamferdam 1,490]

Main intersection that dumps commuters directly into the CBD:

 

Additional intersection out in the midrise suburbs:

Great work guys!

I've been working on a mountain highway. Not many interchanges on it but here's one. Was a pain to slope it all properly.

 

[Haljackey 17,326]

Here's a couple others.

The FAR used here makes for the shortest possible, but still smooth half moon loop radius that fits into the roundabouts. Looks kinda unique.

--

And here is a elongated folded diamond

This was going to be a 'haferchange' (half interchange) but showing progress with the rest of the NAM team, they convinced me to build a full interchange here.

It's set farther back due to the proximity of this interchange to the east I have shown previously. This maximizes the weave space between them.

 

[albireo38 340]

My interchanges a little bit updated

 

 

 

[Haljackey 17,326]

Upgrades to show... before and after pics.

OG build

--

Upgrade 1- no intersection for NB to WB loop

--

Upgrade 2- flyover- no intersection for WB to SB

---

Upgrade 3- full free flowing interchange

 

[Haljackey 17,326]

Tight single point

 

[Haljackey 17,326]

More interchanges you say? Been on a bit of a building spree while extending a highway.

Nothing crazy this time but sometimes simple is also very cool.

[Haljackey 17,326]

Refreshed a subpar interchange to more modern standards. It included replacing a tunnel with a level 4 RHW overpass!

Original config

Subpar onramp and trumpet

Refreshed junction

Better sloped onramp

Trumpet with improved curves

I'm sure a few people will be able to pick the inspiration for this one!
