Really elaborate interchange! A bit off topic, is those infrastructure really functional or a bit leaning to just a beautiful eye candy?

Thanks- you'll see from the traffic in my pics (and videos) on the previous page and others that completed interchanges with development around them are very well utilized, and in most cases too well (heavy congestion/crashes). Those without development nearby either have it planned in the future, or are in rural areas with little or no development nearby.

Make sense. I'm under impression that there only certain areas with traffic and the rest is using maybe a traffic generator. But, I was wrong. Thanks for the info!

My third try at making a realistic partial cloverleaf interchange like in Ontario.

Looks great, like the loops and the merge before the merge

...but where are your offramps? I see ways to get on the highway here, but not for getting off.

Nice try for a beginner!

Masterpiece!

What I can give to you is would be better if you develop the surrounding areas.

I'm trying to build out the region before I build a huge city.

You're doing the right thing.

[alexcheetah 35]

Found out that I had connect the highway to another city so I added a Y interchange at the last minute. Suspiciously the neighborhood in front caught fire and burned down.

[alexcheetah 35]

managed to sneak in another interchange as well.

[Haljackey 17,403]

Just one more lane, bro

 

[Haljackey 17,403]

Here's a 3-way interchange I built to support a port development. It has a couple half interchanges for local connections on the sides.

 

To the north is a folded diamond approaching the port area

 

In the port area there's a tight diamond interchange which also serves as a dual rail overpass

 

Not an interchange, but the terminus at the end of the dock connects to a ferry terminal.

[Haljackey 17,403]

This new UDI vid gives you a tour of all the new junctions I have shown in this thread recently

 

 

[alexcheetah 35]

Had to make another tight interchange with the space I had.

[alexcheetah 35]

Should be good enough for this city.

[Haljackey 17,403]

Whoa dude, today's April 1 release is not a fooler.

I need to take new pics of every single interchange I have made. Junctions look amazing with it. Example:

(Cheat codes used to get this 'classic' top down view:  CameraPitch 85 &CameraYaw 0)

Ok one more because this is wak

Ok I've held off as long as I can but I wanted to make a single post here to dump a lot of my interchange creations with the 3D camera. Sorry for the big image spam just getting it out of the way. Most are from top-down angle.

I like the latest with connectors feeding into the larger system.   This inspires me to clear out some prime real estate in Peyton_Place and construct one of these @Haljackey Freeway Networks.  Highly functional

Hello everyone, I'm creating my city that has an airport, and making some access entrances to it. I need to know if anyone knows a video tutorial on how to use FLUPS (underground roads/avenues over RHW), it would be good for my city, but I still don't understand how to use them. Because I want to remove some elevations that go over the RHW, i think it`ll more clean in some points.

Sometimes you have to do everything wrong to get it just right.

Setups are wrong at moments... but the pathing works and it looks great.

[Haljackey 17,403]

Two new diamonds from me, along with an enhancement to a existing 3-way

Diamond underpass.

Instantly became crazy overwhelmed so soon widened it to a avenue

--

A quickchange diamond overpass

Again, this became overwhelmed once I made it so widened to avenue

--

To prep for highway widening north, expanded these connections from 1 to 2 lanes

Did they discontinue this roundbout piece? I had it in version 36, and when I came back and was in version 43+ I no longer had it

Hi @harryloko20, not sure if you found it already. It is located in the Highway menu among the Maxis features under "Prefabs". However, you need to activate the Maxis Highway Override (MHO) in the NAM installer (see images below). I also found it in the NAM documentation:

https://www.sc4nam.com/docs/feature-guides/maxis-highway-override/#using-rhw-with-the-maxis-highway-override 

It is a great looking feature and I will certainly try it out. Thanks for making me aware of it.

hi friends, thanks for reply, A few days ago someone responded and I managed to find it in the menu, I was looking at it wrong, it was always there hahaha

I continue to churn them out.

New parclo design

Mixmaster got finalized too

In progress of clearing out land for a HalJackey Freeway System in one of my bustling cities! 

[Haljackey 17,403]

Four new half interchanges. One used braided ramps and is my second use of the basketweave pieces.

Here are both of them

The other two are half loop things

Also me: "Let's make this ten times more complicated than it needs to be!"
