Definitely too small, narrow and abrupt, but hey, it works! And serves me to keep the trucks from entering the city. The exit ramp, BTW, cannot be built in any other way. Believe me, I tried.

Interchange rework to fit in a elevated rail line

I mean a simple diamond interchange woulda sufficed, but let's be real, This is cooler.

[Haljackey 17,272]

Parclo B4 interchange with GLR in the middle. I am not entirely sure if I like it. I transitioned to OWR-3 for a kind of turning lane, but it continues.

Any feedback you have on my work is always welcome. I appreciate constructive criticism.

Or, here it is with el rail extended

Which is best?

EDIT- I decided extending the el rail a bit is best, and extended the outer ramps a bit since I had the space now.

I like what you've done there, it has a country feel about it, which is not so easy to achieve with light rail in the mix.

Here's an earlier of post mine post integrating a Tram-Avenue into a mixed interchange of RHW and MHW, all for the sake of the Tram-Avenue under MHW puzzle piece.  I wonder if the same puzzle piece exists with an MHO skin? ... a Tram-Avenue under MHO puzzle piece?

Your interchange got me thinking about ramps, decelerating traffic, and Parclo+GLR.  In your particular case, an east-west RHW-4 / RHW-6S combo would give you that on-ramp lane, and also provide an opportunity for a Type D2 deceleration lane for that signalled left-turn across the the GLR.

 

Thanks for posting that one.  We don't often see light rail in interchanges, and your post has tickled my imagination.

Tow interchanges I've made(map San Francisco).

[Haljackey 17,272]

Great work @Leathershoes&corn!!!

A couple new ones from me at the urban-rural regional boundary

This diamond may look simple, but it was a pain to get all the slopes right.

Trumpet interchange featuring RHW-2

& here's both of them

[Tyberius06 12,184]

More or less freshly built interchange at the edge of the city. 

And this one is an old one at the other side of the city. It will be revisited later. 

 

[Leathershoes&corn 829]

An interchange in suburb.

[Lucario Boricua 7,027]

This is a remarkably tight turbine interchange, fantastic work here!!

[Indiana Joe 1,750]

Seriously tight work.  And seeing it tucked into the urban environment where it belongs is just

 

I don't have any masterful cities to show off my RHW.  Right now all of my work is in test regions, playing with new pieces, like this...

Wonderful work everyone!! 

Here are two "simple" downtown interchanges. I say simple as in they took me a couple of hours to get a final configuration.

Cool! You carved really deep into that rock!

Ok, here's mine. Basically the first marginally complex intersection I have ever built.

I'm not sure what was my goal here... Just an absent-minded attempt at creating something more sophisticated than an "X".

Hahahahaha. Thanks. Testing and trying new things will lead you to interesting results. One step on a time.  Nice try anyway. 

[Metalhead123 260]

FInally made a stack. NAM 42 isn't so hard after all, or at least once you get the hang of it.

[Haljackey 17,272]

Great work all! Some unique and well executed designs!

And now for something a bit different. While working on a new area of town, I created this. May be a bit excessive, but it is an interchange lol.

[Metalhead123 260]

Another stack interchange.

[Metalhead123 260]

Now for something that isn't a stack. 

[Sabretooth78 808]

Playing around with NAM42:

Originally I just wanted to see if the NAM had become more flexible with ramp underpasses, and it just got more complex from there.  In reality, we'd probably have a safer configuration (probably a diamond/parclo hybrid at the avenue), but it was a useful practice in learning limits.  For instance, with my slope mod, I don't think there's 0.1m of elevation to spare between the AVE overpass, off-ramp and STR/MIS underpass.  After all, the grade on the STR can't be flexible!

This is neat and smooth.  But I had to stare at it for a minute because something wasn't right.  5 ramps and only 4 directions of travel.  I'm curious if the redundancy serves a purpose.

New interchange at the edge of a bridge, surrounded by wetlands

Kind of a somber build for me; it may be the last interchange in (what is to be) the densest part of my mega-region

See pics of me building it here:

 

[pierrebaptiste 472]

Hello Haljackey,

 

Great job ! Your interchange it's an excellent conception . Really I like it.

 

[Haljackey 17,272]

@rob_mtl and I work together to 'show you' a stack interchange

 

 

[Metalhead123 260]

I like this one. Usually I just make these interchanges in a blank region as a sort of place to experiment, but I think I might actually use this one in an actual region at some point. I added the trees a decor.

Edit: I wanted to show another interchange I made with a similar concept. I based it off this one I saw on google Maps.

Hello ,

A test with old element of NAM32 and new element of NAM39 :

 

How do you make that roundabout interchange?

 

[Gwyain 95]

First time trying out RHW. Took me the better part of two days to get the interchange as tight as I wanted while managing to keep the slope gradients reasonable, but it turned out pretty well in the end.

 

[art128 4,618]

Some time ago I posted a few pictures of interchanges around the ring road of my city. Here's one of them after the area was developed.
