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?

Which image(s) are you referring to?

[T Wrecks 10,209]

I was referring to the picture @ikilluasap1 posted originally. The post is now deleted (I can still see it thanks to my moderator account), so my reply is pretty much unconnected now. The cloverleaf was originally lacking the outer ramps. Speaking of that cloverleaf, it looks much better now!

[Haljackey 17,270]

New interchange time.

Nah...

Maybe...

Ok this works.

Zoom out. Wedged between a big interchange and a curve.

Luckily there aren't river floods in SC4, because those modifications to the water course would wreak havoc on your city otherwise...

[Haljackey 17,270]

They're right at the end of some shallow systems. Should be ok

A few of these could fix it too.

Finishing my Parkway before development
This could be considered as a Highway interchange, don't?

 

As the Park terminus, I thought that an interchange should do the job. The priority is for right curve, where the highway will be continuing to go until the High Dollar Residential Zone. Upwards will be converted in a 3 lane avenue with median.

I think I'm having some kind of problem with simtropolis image uploader. I uploaded in other site, now you see it!

[Compdude787 916]

Now I can see them, thanks.

@f3cs Your interchanges are very green and beautiful. I really like the idea of fusing parks with highways making the parkway. There is still room for improvements, like adding more details and using more custom-made stuff, but you're still in the right direction. Keep it up

Urban landscaping, just another thing in which brazilians wield superpower status:

This one is part of the Aterro do Flamengo, designed by the chief brazilian MMPer, Roberto Burle Marx. @f3cs is bringing the concept to SC4 in a way that can only be called maravilhosa.

In fact, the only thing that could improve his fantastical work would be to unify the grass textures; and to better preserve the crispiness of the greens, this one mod will be the most adequate one (check the dependencies!)

[f3cs 1,063]

I'm flattered. Thank you all for the kind comments. I do not think I understood, from what grass do you speak? From the ground or from the side of the RHW? After the changes suggested by matias93, the intersection looked like this

[matias93 7,535]

Sorry, my error, the RHW isn't affected by MGB's SWN mods, so their grass doesn't change. An option could be to use MGB diagonal fillers instead of the SWN mod I just recommended, thus allowing you to create straight parallel lines of grass instead of the zig zag that happens now.

Had a lot of fun building what I'm calling the "Funkychange". Is there any official name for an interchange like this?

[matias93 7,535]

That 180° ramp is simply gorgeous, a work of art; in fact, all the interchange has a compositional beauty that is really hard to achieve: it looks more like a brass instrument than a driveway!

Only one observation: it would be nice to smooth the curve on the central RHW-4, that should be undisturbed by the overpassing traffic.

Thanks so much for the love. This is the first time I've built anything really different like this. Beginner's luck, maybe? 

And there you go!

[f3cs 1,063]

What a sexy interchange! It will be a great improve if you use a R3 45º RHW-4 Curve. They are super smooth and will add a realistic feeling in your interchange.

Edit:Sorry, Matias93 already did this for me haahah

[Compdude787 916]

After two years of using RHW, I have finally built my first cloverleaf interchange. I am so proud of myself!!  It took a lot of hard work. /s 

 

After building several more-complicated four-way interchanges, and even a five-way interchange, this really was a piece of cake. I'll have a video showing its construction soon.

Sometimes, simple interchanges solves big problems

Not bad, but what was the intent behind the u-turn ramp on that trumpet interchange?

[rsc204 21,806]

Just a little something I've been working on. If you are interested in knowing more about the modding used in this junction, please visit my development thread:

Well, Before the trumpet, U turn was one of the most used moves in that avenue. With the traffic grow, a higher capacity interchange was needed. With trumpet done, U turns in that avenue intersection are no longer permitted. So, the solution was to put a U turn in the interchange to keep the option of traffic flow

Here is one: 

Any ideas for improvements, trying to make it as small as possible but keep wide curves

[Haljackey 17,270]

 

Neat!

Yep I have one. Looks like you can fit in that flyover here. That would cut down on the size of the interchange and make it more efficient for commute times.

Damn, I haven't signed into my Simtropolis account for over 3 years. So awesome to see how interchange building has come since I last played SC4! Gotta get playing again

[matias93 7,535]

Take care when visiting the NAM development thread so, some recent improvements are not for the faint of heart!
