Show us Your Interchanges!

[legoman786 1]

Haljackey,

PLEASE supply us with a link for that trumpet style stock highway interchange.

If it's in the RHW3, then I don't have it yet lol

[Gammro 0]

It's in the updated NAM

Nice interchanges everyone! although I gave up on v2 of RHW because of the malfunctioning of the road to MIS(no cars could get on... my highway), I might consider trying again, seen what you all do now.

[Simcitymaster13 27]

Sorry for the problem.

Heres the link for the NAM January 09. You are welcome.

[tahill79 13]

its in the custum interchanges. hold down shift then tab and it will take ya there. its like the 3rd one back i think.

[Vahr 341]

@Legoman: It's in the new NAM (Jan 2009). Go to the "Highways" menu, click on "Custom Interchanges", hit and , and it should be there. Make sure you also have the new NAM essentials.

Here is a large, partly collector/express interchange:

West side loop:

Center:

East:

Collector/Express Exchange (East):

Overview:

Edit: Looks like I forgot to turn off the grid

[metarvo 710]

That's a complex interchange system you have there, Vince, and it appears as though everything works.  I especially like the picture labeled "East," as it is one of the more original uses of the MIS I have seen.

rushman5 => what a great interchange there !! awesome work

[tahill79 13]

legoman--you gotta make these ure self.

while looking at some of these great interchanges, i noticed that we all have the same light towers. its about time someone saved us and made something new. wisht i could but i cant. great work all

[mitsos 12,851]

Penthesili, Dimland

[Haljackey 17,272]

mitsos I swear you make some of the best Maxis highway networks and interchanges. They just look so awesome!

I'm also seeing some excellent RHWs on this page. Nice work everyone!

Keep showing us your interchanges!

Great Interchanges everyone.

It's a limited accesss highway in Concord.  This is the only stoplight on the whole stretch of roadway. 

[Soulchaser 1]

My try of a sunken diagonal interchange:

[bluemoose 223]

this is really only an idea, and i don't even think its possible.

Red=ground level

blue=2nd level

green=3rd level

yellow=4th level

Its a Y/T hybrid

Ill be posting a few pics of my SUPER 2 next post.

There's a challenge! Certaintly won't be exactly what you posted, but probably possible.

[GMT 389]

moose, this interchange idea looks terribly awesome.

i can vividly imagine placing such a monster.

but I'm afraid nobody will model it in a given time and recreating it with puzzle pieces don't seem to be possible, at least not with 4 levels of roads

[McDuell 301]

Sorry folks for not having posted here in a long time, but recently I lacked some inspiration and thus had the game a bit on the backburner.

But as I saw bluemoose's drawing today, I couldn't hold back, fired up SC4 and gave it a try. The following is a quick and dirty (read: no real beautification and fine tuning) but fully workable version of a combined T/Y interchange. I hope that it's reasonably similar to your idea .

Sorry also for this post being short and without comments, but my next one will be more detailed, I promise .

[DavidBrown 0]

bluemoose - here's my atttempt. As I say, not exact by any means - 4 levels is simply not possible. But it's close enough.

For some reason, Imageshack is only letting me upload really small pictures, so apologies for that. I should also point out that it's LHD.

[Patricius Maximus 236]

I'll have some of my interchanges out of the Patrician Showcase soon, and post them here.

rushman: Simplicity often breeds efficiency and clarity. It sure does in your case.

Gammro: I'd advise you try RHW 3.0. It takes a while to orient yourself with it, and be prepared to do a few practice interchanges at first, but you can do a lot with it.

Blue Lightning: I think that's a drive for maniacs! There's too much weaving and too many tight turns.

mitsos: It may numerically be trumpet overkill, but I must confess it looks good. Great job with the beautification, and the interchange fits into its environment. The best interchange is the one that does not stand out from its surroundings, but rather compliments them -- like the Golden Gate Bridge.

clonedclone87: A nice looking intersection. It has that "small town" feel.

Soulchaser: Looks good, but why doesn't it connect to any other roads? As it stands now, it's only a transfer between sides of the freeway.

Bluemoose Challengers: Both of your attempts look good, and I'll give it a try myself -- with beautification. It may even find use in my cities .

DavidBrown: A very peculiar problem. If Imageshack doesn't work, try another image hosting site, such as Photobucket.

I'm liking what I'm seeing around here.

[Soulchaser 1]

pat-max: the pic was taken just after been built to connect the two parts of land. I just thought the construction would be clearer without any further development. I just didn't want to overload this tiny pic

[psander5 195]

Some of these interchanges boggle the mind!

I've been playing about a bit.  Here's my modest contribution:

It'll do for me!  You'll never see any monster spaghetti junctions from me.  I tend to switch to Maxis highways when I need high capacity, small space roads.  I like to give the simple ones a chance though in my rural and suburban areas.

This one's from a new region in my nation of New Gelderland, near the city of New Rotterdam

[deathtopumpkins 43]

Wow, nice diamond Paul! Or I guess technically that one would be a dogbone since the ramps connect to roundabouts...

[un1 41]

So today was the first day I could experiment with the new RHW. I made three interchanges, a T, a diamond and a Texas style diamond (with the frontage roads, in a high traffic area).

So here is the diamond with the frontage roads... and the MIS going over them,

That is all.

-un1

[Patricius Maximus 236]

Both of your junctions look great.

[antsel 841]

Wow, great work everyone. Mitsos, your waterfront area looks amazing, I love the layout of the freeways. Psander5, good use of the RHW, it really sets a nice rural scene. un1, that's a nice diamond interchange.

Here is an interchange from the city of Wellwood in my CJ - Fortune.

In the UK, we call it a dumbbell interchange. They are very common, especially on newer motorways and dual carriageways.

[bluemoose 223]

WOW!

Mcduell- That's awesome!!

DavidBrown- unfortunately, i cant see yours

I was not expecting any attempts, just wanted to show you guys the idea

Heres my super2

made possible by the RHW 3.0!

This is EXIT ONE:

to >>>>Downtown Arlington,<<<< Williamsport

This is EXIT TWO:

to Central Arlington, Arlington High School>>>>>

EXIT THREE:

Northern Arlington

Here the SUPER 2 ends and intersects at the Northern Parkway

Two sunken diamonds

A half parclo part of the much larger interchange below.

Check the connectivity of the following two pictures!

it ALL connects

The random trumpet hybrid with surface road connections

Thats all, and the RHW2 is coming in Handy!

[Haljackey 17,272]

Let me also throw in a sense of amazement. I'm seeing some truly wonderful work here from everyone! Well done!

selles: Try not to curve your raised one-way puzzle pieces. They look kinda odd and unrealistic. Other than that nice work!

Keep showing us your interchanges!

Best,

-Haljackey

[sqiddster 1]

Here is a cloverleaf interchange which gives meaning to the phrase 'spaghetti interchange'

[TwelveToneMusic 0]

Mitsos, that area looks super realistic!  Great job!

[The_Hutt 11]

Okay:
