This video displays various interchanges I've shown here as of late. It shows just where they fit in my region.

Around 7 min mark  going north and east there´s some RHW left over along the highway !

 

 

Yes its actually present in several spots in the video- the old puzzle piece based RHW 8S to 8C transition has this glitch. I've reported it internally to the @NAM Team, and a fix is being worked on!

A note- you will not encounter the issue if you use the new flex width transitions. I could convert all of my existing transitions to flex, but I have a ton of them and in some areas its tedious due to sloping, stuff nearby, and laziness. I don't wanna lol... I'll wait for a fix

This corner of Simtropolis has been quite quiet lately!

 

     Got another trumpet interchange, involving RHW-3 and RHW-4 at a rugged terrain location.

I'm usually not that big of a fan of interchanges, but this one is really good work, especially with the rugged terrain and the diagonals and one FA-3 MIS route.

Cheeky double post but the sequel is out:

Here is a simple 4 way interchange and an exit/entrance for an "elevated highway".

I think I hadn't shown this. It's quite simple in comparison, and I would have liked to make it smaller, but the sloping terrain didn't cooperate with it. The rail going around and not directly over it was also a compromise because it would have required a lot of pieces that don't exist yet. On the other hand, the way on which the REW pieces allow the cloverleaf transition seamlessly into an avenue is my favourite part of this.

Yes, here is the link there are 5 different versions you can remove the ones you don't like if you want to. Have fun!

     Going once more to the freeway laboratory, cranking out the NAM 44 edition of a cloverstack with two adjacent loops!     

 

 

Compare it to its larger sibling using embankments, as opposed to curved height transitions:

Garden City RHW Double Trumpet Interchange !

Not quit a beauty but for functionality certainly a slightly remarkable one. West of the Coastal city center in zone C2 this interchange serves the eastern commercial district where large malls will be. Heart of the interchange is the standard maxis fly-over prefab. Around I added for the local area a way to turn of for the local area one way. Downtown vice versa a east.west corridor is added. As you may maid up not all direction are covered these have to find there way via adjacent boulevards to the zone border subsequent interchanges !

C

Commercial area bellow, upside goes to downtown area !

Local ramp for the west side of this commercial zone !

Enjoy !

A very smooth spinny boi, with the new RHW pieces.

Been working on my city of Alexandria today, and needed a interchange here:

 

Came up with this:

Here's a few suburban highway interchanges from a new region I'm working on.

Compact Cloverleaf Interchange - In real life, these are probably the most economical to engineer and construct but clearly the worst in terms of traffic flow due to weaving of traffic and sharp 270 degree turn radii.

Stack Interchange - Ideal for moving traffic efficiently but costly to engineer and build!

T-Interchange

 

 

[Eggman121 1,035]

Nice work @NateKC

There is a lot of stuff that can be done with the RHW that was unimaginable in the 30's versions now possible in the 40's versions.

Here is an interchange I made today. Originally posted on SC4D Discord. Still a bit of Beautification to do.

4 to 6 to 8 lanes.

This is probably the weirdest diamond I have made. Thanks to the new RHW connections to roundabouts!

-----

1:30 in you can see the OG design

I may re-record this one day to show 8 lanes

 

[Haljackey 17,272]

This is almost a continuation of the last post but I am continuing to widen a highway and that involves interchange reconstruction.

Widening project continues- guess a triple post?

This diamond grew from 4 lanes

To 6 lanes

...And now 8 lanes.

Looks kinda squished now lol. I also added 2 underpasses on each side to reduce some congestion on the avenue.

The widening got pushed up to this trumpet.

6 lanes approach

Then 8

Now 10!

 

[Haljackey 17,272]

Quadruple post? Sorry...

This entry completes the highway widening project I've been working on. Several interchanges had to be tweaked to fit in an additional travel lane.

Due to the overwhelmingly high amount of traffic I have completely reworked this interchange to change the 'through' highway.

It was also the first time I have ever used the RHW-8S to 10S ramp connections (type D and E are supported)

Still recognize the area? lol

[Haljackey 17,272]

6 posts in a row. I feel like a spammer but got lots of new content to showcase. Next phase of my widening project needed some more interchange enhancements. Let me show them!

A 3-way interchange with a little diagonal in it.

[Haljackey 17,272]

Very nice @sarcosis! Great use of elevated curves!

My above posts summed up in one video.Took me several months of work to make this!

 

[CityNut607 622]

Been working lately on my new region, and built this masterpiece of an interchange today. Took about 3 hours and its still a work in progress. Main guts of the interchange are done, just have to finish connecting the ends together! I used the real life interchange of I-70 and I-465 in Indianapolis, IN as my inspiration. Its not a complete recreation, but largely based on. Still loving and finding new ways to use NAM 44! 

 

I hope to have a CJ update soon. Been doing a lot of little detail work in this region.

incredible interchange nicely combine the environment surrounded.

 

[Leathershoes&corn 829]

My newly built half cloverleaf interchange in the near suburb of a new map.(finally i know how to use mapper, and have more space for me to do my highway stuff).

[Haljackey 17,272]

Excellent work!

The flyover ramp eliminates an intersection and gives full freeway access to all connections except going in or out of town.

Other adjustments made too if you look closely. Tighter loops, dedicated loop MIS ramps, some geometry improvements, and 3 full through lanes each way through the interchange now.

[Haljackey 17,272]

An incredibly demanding undertaking.

Ill be on holiday tomorrow- this is the last before/after I'll be showing for a while
