    Okay, its been a while since my last post, but here are 12 new images from me:

    As always,

    Click on the images for FULL RESOLUTION! (1440x900)

    A demolished seaport allowed a lakefront throughway to take its place, as well as a new bridge.  Here is a unique interchange between the two roads, constructed differently due to the lake:

    Here's my interchange from my cj Brookeshire. I love the format of the intersection aswell as thefact that there are no jagged edges. 

    (Clicking the image will take you to the update).

    Cool, SODATWIN!  I like how you made those service centres!

    Anyways, good job with the turnpike/toll entrance, but if you were to make the inner one-ways turn not as sharply (180 degrees over 2 tiles, eek!  Talk about rollovers!2.gif), it would look much more realistic!

    Heres a quick example of what it could look like:

    Anyways, keep showing us your interchanges!

    This Interchange is in Brenton. I got the idea for this from the I-55/I-240 Interchange south of Memphis. Theres quite the simularity between my version and the RL one

    Well, not GREAT, but...

    Interchange 1

    This one is okay...

    Interchange 2

    I THINK this is my best one to date

    Interchange 3

    A while back, I had a forest/mountain/tunnel/ interchange, but I accidently lost the city 27.gif, so I will try to re-build it and post here!

    But I know my interchanges need some work...

    This intersection of mine is where 6 different roads converge, there are three total tunnels, two parallel east-west tunnels and one north-south. The highway and northbound road on the east bank each are served by their own tunnel. The north-south through highway is the city's ring road, and to the west is downtown (served by two avenues and two one-ways). Also, limited access is given at the roundabout to the industrial port section. There is additionally a 4-track rail-tunnel south of the main east-west tunnel. It serves both passengers and freight.

    Originally posted by: haljackey Nice work there, squidi!  Thats a cool application of the multi highway you have there!

    I also noticed that only one car is using your 12 lane highway, now thats something you don't see in real life eh!


    Heres yet another update from me.  RL is going to kill me the next little while (university is getting harder and my mid-terms are coming up soon)

    So anyways, here they are.  CLICK ON THE IMAGES FOR FULL RESOLUTION! (1440x900)

    Frontage road interchange.  I hate frontage roads with a passion, but do to space constraints, I had to build one here.  This is the only example of frontage roads I have.

    This is the probably the worst interchange I have ever made.  MAY LOAD SLOWLY

    Nice, how did you get the lights on the actual highway? And A.Yiannou, you can just aim your comment at haljackey instead of quoting each and every pic.

    I found those signs on the STEX.  Try searching the words "Highway" and "Signs" for best results.

    Umm.. I found that somewhere on the Japanese BAT gallery.  It turns the monorail network into a Bullet train network, similar to the HSRP (high speed rail project.)  I can't remember which page it was on, but if you ask there, I bet someone would be able to help you find it.
