I think #3 looks the best, but perhaps instead of a "Y" connection you could run it as a loop after the bridge to conserve space and reduce the amount of corners the ramps take

    I tried to make it full access, but I'm having trouble deciding which way to go. I've built three alternatives (full high-res album):

    (1) uses a street intersection as a u-turn - simple. (2) uses compact MIS curves. (3) also uses MIS, but with smoother FAR curves. Which one do you all prefer?

     

    I'd suggest looking at the dual diagonal MIS to ortho RHW-4 ramp piece. It won't give you fractional angle, but might be a good compromise between these two choices.

    after founding out you can drag smooth curves, I tried a very simple trumpet interchange...

    And in another city a interchange for the main center with a city tunnel that travels across the whole map

    I've been thinking about this interchange quoted, and made some changes... Now the interchange is smaller and have more traffic capacity.

    I decided to go with the second choice. Sucks that I can't make a dedicated left ext lane but on well a merge works ok too.

     

    This was part of a project to add more collector lanes between interchanges.

    I don't know if you're still looking from something in this project but i have a idea that I implemented in my region, in a avenue with frontage roads upgraded with RHW

    I particularly like the solution with the roundabout and the gas station - perfect! :)

    Something different: a tight but well utilized side interchange using a RHW-C to RHW-S ramp transition.

    Lovely work there! Love the integration of FAR and diagonal with the highway

    Very nice diagonal trumpet! The only thing I would add could be a connection between both local roads, to avoid the need to enter and exit the highway to cross it for local traffic.
