Rural intersection through the forest

[JulianMIA 1,617]

I was looking back an old city I had started in 2018 and came across this - 

Mainly it was an exercise to sharpen my skills at using the RHW flex pieces, it was about engineering how 5 lines of inbound traffic might get distributed onto city streets without creating arrival bottlenecks and outbound traffic could get collected in some more dispersed manor and onto the outbound bridge as quickly as possible.

The bridges:

 

The inbound traffic (right-hand side) gets separated into express lanes and off-ramp distributer lanes:

 

First distribution north and south:

 

The second set of distributor lanes would handle much more traffic.  Already I was seeing so much flaw in this design here though as most traffic was let out southbound except for one loop around to the northbound expressway and one set of lanes that intersected with an avenue where traffic would have to stop and wait to turn left.

 

Looking back at this now makes me remember why I abandoned the work.  While it was fun an interesting to build, it does really let you see how much space highways take up.  Trying to avoid this in my newest city.

Just one more lane, bro. One more, I swear that's all it takes. One more lane, bro, c'mon, one more.
