An interchange of 3 RHW-6 highways. I've just started to develop this city, so there's only the highway. I hope you like it.

 

[sirdanilot 8]

Beautiful, but how do you get the two El-highways to cross?

Those are L1 and L2 (7.5 and 15m) RHW-4s crossing over each other.

[zimmie 521]

Go green!

 

[Harry's Place 918]

A small junction between 2 avenues

 

[Fatjuice 253]

Go green!

 

too much green for me! (at least for the median)

wouldn't it be more realistic if there weren't any trees in the median?

[Samerton 833]

Great interchanges everyone 

 

Here's one I made with limited space:

I apologise for not trimming the window.

The overkill was intentional. I was just trying to be humorous. Oh well, thought someone might get a chuckle out of it.

Here in the New England area of the US, most major interstate highways are separated by such dense flora just as in that image. 

 

Always thought to myself, wouldn't that be a good place to dump a body (if ever there was a case..lol). Who the hell would be roaming around in this area between the highways to actually find it, besides animals.

Sorry, didn't mean to be offensive

looks like i need to do my homework: start looking at some highways out of croatia or europe

[zimmie 521]

No, not even one iota of an inkling of offensiveness. I would feel the same about that pic if it wasn't just a goof off.

[TopDeej 254]

This is a parclo-diamond interchange variant with full access.

 

 

Hope you enjoy!

[TopDeej 254]

Its the same parclo from before, but now has development around it. Here's a few pictures.

 

 

 

 

Enjoy as always!

Here's my first ever T-Bone interchange with RHW-8S:

 

 

Had to demolish everything west of this to get it to connect to a port city i built, but with the 8S network already in place it was quite the challenge to build it backwards from the tutorial. Counting tiles has never been so mind numbing...

Nice, but I have a suggestion:

Replace the marked area in marked with an L1 RHW-4 and that will make the junction 20% more pleasing.

A "Simple' interchange i just completed.

Or try this:

You should also add smooth curves. Since elevated networks don't have smooth curves yet, I'm usually more acceptant of them not having it.

RE: GeometryMath Algebra and Pioneer:

 

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll see what I can do!

[Haljackey 17,270]

Excellent work guys!

It looks odd seeing the road go from 6-8 lanes to just 2. Maybe continue it as a AVE-6?

[Haljackey 17,270]

This is via SimMemes, but I think SHYI: The Sequel might enjoy:

 

 

Just a weird intersection that I've found on google

 

I'll bulldoze all my cloverleafs interchanges to do this, Piroca interchange Rulz. \--/_

 

 

That one's mine.

 

A lot busier now:

 

As soon as I finished it, this came to my mind:

 

 

 

 

Another angle:

 

Zoom out:

 

The creators of GTA V made one too:

 

 

Alright Hal, we get it, we get it.    The multiple angles are not necessary.  (Snicker)

You are lucky then, as I thought about making a super high-res zoom in of it along with pics from every angle possible.

 

Also I like how your avatar is kind of like a meme

 

 

EDIT: Oh yeah and here's a vid of me building it:

 

 

[Kuewr665 40]

Um. Oh wow. O_o

Those interchanges do appear in the world, particularly where access is limited to one side of the freeway. The 101 and Topanga Canyon Blvd interchange is one example.

I did that so if the southbound offramp reaches full capacity the bridge is wide enough. A real world example can be found here

[Kuewr665 40]

It looks like the road remains at 4 lanes until another intersection before downgrading to 2 lanes.

[APSMS 1,892]

Agreed. An intersection is usually a good excuse to reduce lanes; doing it without one makes you wonder where the traffic goes. I usually try to do this, but I don't always succeed.

I like participating in forums like these!

Here's one I finished recently. When I started this region I just wanted to play around and see if I could make farms realistic... overtime I enjoyed playing on the terrain and I just kept adding onto it!

Here's the same junction before and after 57 years. Same zoom, same direction! You can see the drastic changes in infrastructure.

 

[tysonic 6]

kellydale2003: That's a nice before/after shot, definitely shows you can retro fit RHW into a city without wiping out half of it. Like I did recently

 

Update on my T-Bone Interchange: I made some changes to it per some suggestions, went with a N/S RHW4 L1 instead of a N/W one for now and got some curves in

 

 

I also built my first Diverging Diamond Interchange:

 

I needed higher capacity for the on/off ramps here so i built it with RHW4 instead of MIS. The curves could be better, but i just cant find a way to make them work off the 8S D2 splitter connection.

You can use FARHW 8S splitter ramp instead of the 8S D2 splitter ramp.

[zimmie 521]

combined with the fractional angle rhw-4 short curves. would look much nicer.

Here is a Before/After, showing Cloverleaf and another changes
