Show us Your Interchanges!

[Sydney Claridge 106]

Well, take a look at this!

Personally, I think this interchange is one of my best to date.  It was loosely modeled after a real-life interchange in Dallas, Texas.

[Haljackey 17,322]

Wow, insane Houston_Fan! Those 4 intersections make me very nervous though!

[Godzillaman 21]

Great interchange showing the what the road pieces can do!

[Haljackey 17,322]

One more thing, Houston_Fan: If you changed your through one way roads to the RHW the the speed would increase for your commuters and the image would look much better! However, since you have 3 one-ways in each direction, you can use my Multi-RHW guide to be able to create such a network. The pictures show how to do it for a 8 lane highway, but if you just repeat the process, you will be able to make a 12 lane highway with no extra difficulty!

Here is the link to the Multi-RHW guide, or just use the hyper link via my signature.

a fully functional turbine interchange.... more at my interchange compendium.....[linkie]

[chriss 28]

where can you download those underpass (presumably from buddybud?) lots? I can't find them, and I've been looking for a while...

[Haljackey 17,322]

Great work mightygoose! The new NAM looks very promising indeed! Those tunnels/underpasses in your photos (in your link), do they function and are they UDI-compatible? They look very squeezed though at 1 tile long, I would recommend using the Big Dig lots or the Motorway entrance lots instead for a more gradual decent (3-t tiles long), but those are not UDI-compatible.

[mightygoose 92]

well the arnt UDI compatible and they are only a beta..... they are basically subway stations.... they were done by buddybud but they were never officially released after a sytem crash wiped his disk. i could use the motorway lots...(having LHD version big dig wouldnt work) but the aim is to effectively use space. while maintaining functionality. realism although important gives way here because in reality using real curves the junction would infact be about the same size as mine. thus if i can get size and layout accurate. those steep gradients are forgiveable... anyway they are at most 1 in 4

[BurroDiablo 222]

Nice work Mightygoose!

I'm busy working on a large Roundabout interchange when the Avenue Roundabouts in the new NAM proved to be not efficient enough... this is a work in progress but its working pretty well at the moment

[mightygoose 92]

burro what are you trying to achieve....??? i could have a whizz at it if you like.... plus i want to know because i want to have a go.... i love the challenge of a good interchange.

[BurroDiablo 222]

I'm trying to achieve an 8 lane Avenue Roundabout/Interchange, without flyovers merely to save space and keep it tidy (thats also why i'm not using Highways). The Diagonal sliproad's are to keep the main roundabout free of unessesary traffic so everything works smoothly. I'm going to add two more sliproads to the Southbound (its East really, but i'll say South to keep it easy) Carriageway, wich does mean destroying that building, but its nothing of great importance... lol.

At the moment it has 12,000 cars using it, im expecting that to double when the city is fully built... even more when the neighbouring Cities have commuters pouring in.

How can you get 8 lane Avenues, El Burro? Plus nice work haljackey and Houston_Fan, that is incredible!

[villagemayor 0]

Crazy interchanges!! Halston's interchange is way too crazy. Crazy!! I like El Burro's. Even in traffic jam, its nice to look at the trees and the fountains.

[BurroDiablo 222]

1 normal Avenue and 2 lines of One Way road... its not an 8 lane avenue as such, but it works like one. It just means I'll have to conjure up some unique interchages for it... something i've not done yet.

-EDIT-

This one I just made, its pretty much ajacent to the roundabout

So what is the chance of availability?  Pesronally, I'm not concerned with the UDI aspect, just a functional lot is sufficient.

[mightygoose 92]

well chriss if you can track down buddybuds thread and find the post to which they are attached... then you can have them.... although that itself is a major challenge..

burro.... i see some redundancies in your roundabout ill have a far more efficient version for you this evening

[BurroDiablo 222]

O rly? Could you mark them out for me because It seems to be working fine in game...

[mightygoose 92]

El burro, done [linkie]

a teaser to prove i went the whole hog. explanation in linkie ^^^

[mightygoose 92]

i dare you to whinge for double posting

I presume you mean the under-bridge scenary thread, just to be sure?  Not that I know how to recognize an attached file easy anyways...still...

[mightygoose 92]

it would be under the signature.....

[ccecill 52]

Here's a smaller one I've done.

Also, here's an interchange that I've added onto over time. It involves a lot of tunnels.

Below is another one.

Another interchange...

Last one.

[mightygoose 92]

and if thats confusing.... here is the image i worked from... it is identical in function....

[Haljackey 17,322]

Crazy!

Heres some of more of my interchanges

Click on these images to view them larger (1280X1024 px), they are older images. Sorry for the lower quality and the web link, something you're not used to.

These old images have steep slopes, weaving and a lot of cahos!  I have learned from these to make better sloping, preventing weaving, but still having cahos LOL!

I will post newer interchanges soon in high resolution!  If you liked these, you will love the new ones!

[joeshmoe 1]

the is a interchange in downtown Birmingham (no similarity to the real Birmingham at all) the two avenues going off the edge connect the two business districts, and the avenue parallel to the map edge heads out to the industrial park. sorry about the trees obstructing the view and the edge.                                                                                        

nice interchanges! especialy yours, Houston Fan, it looks awesome!!
