This may seem like a dumb question, but how do I get those 3-lane highway-halves that connect to roads. 

I have the latest version of the NAM but I could swear that they aren't in there.

    Those are really great! Where did you ever find that kind of tree/ terrain? Is it the Olympic mod?

    I know how to make a smaller cloverleaf for ground highways--BUT I DON'T HAVE THE PICS!

    It involves using four euro interchanges [from the NAM], some roads, a short section of elevated highway, and either you can use some long 90-road turns [from the NAM] OR you can connect them to your streets.

    Sorry for all the questions, I'm kinda lost with all the different road/transit modds available lol 3.gif

    If someone could help me, on the first post of this page, on the second pic, the split road on/off ramp and on the third pic the one way road straight out of the highway offramp, I never was able to get any of those, I have the NAM June edition and I would really appreciate help. Thanks! 4.gif

    Well I already posted this in the other "Show Us" transportation thread, but I guess it would be more appropriate here. 

    This is my (currently not developed) city's main dowtown interchange, where the region's main highway enters the downtown area and then branches off into a feeder highway to the left for the neighborhood south of the CBD and a highway going through dowtown terminating at the coast.  My goal was to capture the realistic scale and complexity of real world interchanges, instead of simple using a simple T intersection.

    Overview:

    Zoomed in on the feeder highway:

    Zoomed in on the main dowtown interchange:

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

    best intarchange ever °_°quote>

    Hey I know that interchange! I live in Dallas and I easily recognized it. The 6 one way streets above the ground highway is I-635. The ground highway is the Dallas Tollway. The one way streets parallel with the ground highway is Inwood Road and the one ways parallel with the 6-lane highway is the service road for 635. The only problem with this interchange in real life is that the service roads and Inwood Road are CLOGGED during rush hours.

    Other than that its a pretty nice interchange (and aesthetically pleasing IMO)
