    Actually, I have no idea how GLR works at all.  Its all way above my head.

    There was a texture on the STEX for the GLR network that made every piece look like the draggable GLR and the GLR in the Avenue.  However, it has been locked down.

    If you want more information regarding GLR, visit the GLR Stations thread in the Modding: Transit Networks section.

    Heres the link:

    Well, while I am here, I can show that junction once again.  The area has since developed and it was getting quite busy, so I had to add some more junctions, stations and overpasses.  Also note, in the image, the newer Textures for the RHW network, which is downloadable via my signature:

    This image shows road, rail, light rail, elevated rail, bullet train and subway networks!

    The image

    This image showcases both light rail and bullet train interchanges, as well as the new textures for the RHW network.

    That will be it for me for a while regarding Mass-transit, next time its back to highways!

    Yeah. I understand but like an avenue and studd if you put parks near or next to the roadway itself the sidewalks and stuff change.

    this interchange had to be streched due to the position of the avenue and the bridge

    Well mine are really just built becuase I have made one highway then created another highway over the original highway and then needed an interchange to help get traffic from highway A to highywah B (the name of the highways are really not A and B) so really I didn't plan for this highway to be this complex, just I wanted to make a huge multi-city highway conecting one of my first cities to a new one.

    Here are 5 more from me.  They are highway interchanges this time.

    Please Click the images for Full Resolution!  Don't let the size limits of Simtropolis deny you high-def pictures!  I can't stress that enough!!!

    The image

    A newly constructed inner "partial-Y" interchange. inside of a highway.  **Also featuring the Multi-RHW network.**

    The image

    A "Miltiplex" interchange between two highways.

    The image

    A huge creation of mine, more of a stacked roundabout interchange.

    The image

    A very congested Parclo "A4" type interchange.

    The image

    My first Stack-interchange.  This junction actually predates when I installed the NAM, and the Stack interchange fit perfectly inside this junction.

    Hoped you liked them!

    Keep showing us your interchanges!

    more than likley it was done from a traffic generator. u can find them on the STEX, and when u plop a piece, it will make more traffic. there is an american one, as well as a euro edition. sweet effect none the less!

    EDIT: here they are, 

    american: https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/index.cfm?id=17000

    Okay, some new ones from my Capital City: Ultimate City (no CJ).  It is the oldest city I have and because it predates when I installed the NAM for the first time, some junctions are older and there are missing links in the city.  Because of this, it looks very realistic because most large cities in the world have old roads and missing links.  This is the perfect place for me to show some of the interchanges.  Many of them are still old and cannot be upgraded due to space constraints (it is a large and dense city) and others have been upgraded or fully reconstructed.  You can see this easily in these pictures.

    Click the images for FULL Resolution (1440x900)!  I really hope you like this, I've spent more time on this city than my others combined.  It is my most impressive city and also one of my largest (1.8 million, largest city is 2.4 million)

    Okay, here we go!  There are a lot of images, so the thumbnails will be small.  Don't forget to click on them!

    The image

    Sunken interchange with the Western Expressway.  At the time, I didn't have NAM overpasses, so making a tunnel was the only way to biuld a sunken highway.

    The image

    A Bullet Train hub with the Dicken's highway to the east.

    The image

    Western Expressway/Northwall Throughway sunken stack interchange.

    The image

    Airport Throughway terminal interchange.  One lane completely enters/exits the highway here.

    The image

    Hwy 639/636 elevated colverleaf interchange in the centre of the city.

    Ultimate Crescent/Northwall Throughway cloverstack interchange.  The bullet train line was a huge concern constructing this interchange.

    The image

    Hwy 638/Sming Dr.  Interchange.  Hwy 638 also doubles in size east of here from 6 to 12 through lanes.

    The image

    Hwy 638 interchange with itself, allowing a transfer between highways.

    The image

    North side of the Hwy 639/637 Interchange with rail lines running parallel to hwy 637.

    The image

    South side of the Hwy 639/637 Interchange showing slip ramps for local traffic to enter/exit into this heavily built-up area.

    The image

    Hwy 639/Haljackey Throughway sunken stack interchange.  A newly reconstructed interchange with the majority of traffic switching between highways

    The image

    Hwy 639/Ultimate Parkway interchange in Ultimate city's CBD.

    The image

    Dicken's Highway/Northwall parkway cloverleaf interchange.

    Well, thats it for now.  I hope you liked them!  Keep showing us your interchanges!

    I created an Interchange. It is somewhat like a cloverleaf, although not exactly the same. I created it using ground highways, european lateral highway exits, and the N.A.M. 90° Road Curves.

    CowboySean: Cool cloverleaf hybrid!

    rodrigogua/bbfan02: Under "Single-sided" ramps (the second last icon in the highway menu), press tab multiple times and you should find the interchange as long as you have the latest NAM.
