WOW! How did you get the smooth curves on the loop ramps?

@Lost Realist  That does look real smooth , nice job .

Well, by order it goes:  FLEXRamp - 45°FLEX-Curve - 90° FLEX-Curve - 45° FLEX-Curve - FLEXRamp

The real gem about the FLEX-Curves is that they're very slope tolerant and with good preparation and some trial and error you can curve your way down any slope super smoothly. I am actually pretty sure this is the tightest possible smooth loop.

Here is a tight Parclo i made near the cliffs around a north-south rail corridor. It is a separated grade state highway which does not abide by the same standards of national highways, thus allowing the RHW-2 as a loop. The speed is posted 50 due to the sharp corners in this section of highway.

Very happy with the outcome as its compact but uses as many wide radius curves as possible.

Stunning work!

[matias93 7,535]

I love the way that configuration was basically impossible last week, is simply the real thing there...

[f3cs 1,063]

It's going to take a little time ♫

[matias93 7,535]

It seems to me that Haljackey got company here... The only thing that is a little uncomfortable is the lack of ramps on the eastbound entrance to the interchange. Those are not so brutal as what the vanilla game usually produces, but surely a bus would get stuck on there.

Hahahahaha, that was not my original idea! But grass just look so amazing in interchanges... and this was already a "sunken" highway over my CBD... Ok, maybe I copied a little.

The road viaduct ruined my original plans, I think. The most elevated RHW-4 viaduct was original branching out from the other RHW-4. And I really, really wanted to not curve that much.

Here's my CloverLeaf

[f3cs 1,063]

There's a lot of things going on here

Red line (RHW-8) final exit/entry

MG-101 (RHW-4) Tolled Highway begins

Airport exit

Trevo Metropolitano

Interchange Between Red Line and Ring Road. Originally, Red Line turns left. To keep traffic capacity there are two additional dedicated roads in the old turn direction

F3CS: your images aren't loading properly?

 

Edit: works now, nice work!

I built a massive parclo, possibly the largest one I've made.

Junction is just in the 'raw' form for now. Cosmetics, props and development will come once I'm happy with the final configuration.

[Compdude787 916]

Man, that's a big parclo, @Haljackey!

[Darrius11able 728]

Just finished this one, just wanted it to go around the lake. Opinions?

Nice! I got two pointers.

If you built a long diagonal ramp you could eliminate the loop.

Also, what's the yellow ramp for? Seems to pull a 180 degree turn.

...I think I finished my big parclo. Outer ramps were tightened up to reduce the size a bit.

I took your advice and got rid of that 180 ramp I had, I did get rid of the loop and it's now an altered curve ramp that meets up with the other. Then i just added more trees in the end to finish it.

I got inspired by TopDeej's interchange so I applied it in a similar fashion in my city, although the area surrounding the highway isn't finished yet.

[Haljackey 17,270]

Retrofitting an interchange to include a partial-y interchange using a NAM 'trick'.

By dragging rail, and then demolishing it, you can squeeze in an extra tile below RHW overpasses without extending them.

The loop had to be expanded, as well as adding a new merge lane for the loop ramp.

The new ramps

Complete.

How did you get the WHRW-2 slip lane? Great work!

Its a T intersection for RHW-2. Think its under 1 tile cosmetic pieces.

[matias93 7,535]

IIRC, there is on the width changes tab ring, on the highway menu. Is still a puzzle piece though; maybe one of the next NAM versions would include some already shown draggable slip lanes

Hey, how do you get that concrete textures with the RHW?

[TopDeej 254]

Another one,

The old contractor didn't build this right, so before nearby development occurs I did a little extra work to build this to spec.

You must have hired EuroVia!  

[T Wrecks 10,209]

Aren't you missing half of the ramps, though? Those for simple "right turns"? I mean, you could achive the same with 3 left turns, but that wouldn't be very efficient, now, would it?
