Show us Your Interchanges!

[politicman 1]

It's really realist but i don't know how to make this the person who make this is a pro

[politicman 1]

All of these pictures are very interesting. Good work at all

Welcome to page 7 !!

I have some more images of interchanges I made. I hope you like them!

I made this interchange just to add some creativity. It manages traffic quite well. (I removed the cars.) The road is one way road, and I used the elevated highway to ground highway transitions found in the N.A.M. I hope you like it!

Here is a large rail interchange I made. I used the N.A.M. rail puzzle pieces in this. I like to be creative. This is for ruaral rail routes that have a lot of room to spread out. Use this also if your rail lines get congested.

Here is a little avenue and one way road intersection I made. It goes well with Glenni's diagonal buildings. It is not really an interchange, but I was just experimenting and wanted to show it off. From the picture, you should be able to understand how it is made.

I posted this right? I want to post it again. I like it alot. Don't complain if you already saw it, please. It is like one of those things that you want to show to everyone and say, "Looky, Looky! Look what I did! Yay!" If you want to see the description, look on page 6.

I hope everyone liked my interchanges. Thanks!

Those are amazing! Simple...but amazing!

Very very cool Cowboy Sean. I especially like the 2nd one

[politicman 1]

Very impresive the new interchange !

[Crissa 1]

C.Sean, that 'simple' cloverleaf is very common for the expressways in Silicon valley. Generally there's apartments or light industrial hidden in the space along there.

haljackey, I love the soundwalls and embankment walls you have filled in the space with. Though that you use a different texture for the RHW in nearly every picture is sometimes confusing!

Here are some pics of my newest city... and its interchanges...

The city isn't finished yet, but these interchanges are final...

[Haljackey 17,261]

[Delta ²k5]: Intresting use of the RHW network there. I really like that side-by-side RHW design you had there in the last picture, very unique!

Crissa: In regards to RHW textures, throughout my posts in this thread, the RHW network has gone through several releases and texture updates. I also use a certain texture of RHW in some cities to reflect the style/design of the city. EX. I will use the Euro-RHW texture for a more European-themed city.

I will post some new pictures sometime soon when I have some free time. (Univeristy is a pain in the butt!)  Until then, keep showing us your interchanges!

Wow! Delta, I like your interchanges. You have a very creative and good-looking way of using the R.H.W. I will also post some more interchanges soon! I can't wait for haljackey's!

Well I agree too! (I also can't wait for mine!)

Anyways, I tried something different this time.

I have a city that just passed the 2 million mark, and with little room left for development, I tried to make the best of what I had by upgrading a avenue into a "super" avenue, with its own unique intersections/interchanges.  Pictures follow:

As always, Click for FULL RESOLUTION (1440x900)

South end, where 2 avenues come together to for the "Super-avenue", intersecting another avenue.

In the centre, a 8 lane interchange with a busy highway

North end, where the super avenue merges together and is swallowed by the city's skyscrapers.

Hoped you liked them!

Keep showing us your interchanges!

Nice interchanges..i keep trying to make somewhat like a big central highway but i always fail.

[politicman 1]

Very nice new pictures cool !! good work keep it up !!

I like those interchanges alot Haljackey! Anyways, here are a few more I made, although they may not be the most exciting.

This one here is my 8 way avenue intersection. Some of you may have already figured out how to do this, but I think it looks big and sort of cool. It is a pretty simple interchange, if it even is an interchange.

This interchange is a little one involving a one way road going around an two elevated highways, having 8 different on/off ramp sets in the total interhcange. This allows access to all directions of the highway. (mind the city.)

Here is an avenue interchange. The reason I used road instead of one way road is because it would allow you to turn from the exit and go either way to access the direction you need to go.

Here is a little something I figured out. Although it is not an interchange, I just wanted to show you guys. Now if you notice in this next pictures, I have two road corners, and two one way road corners. Now in each set, one of the corners is smoother and not as sharp as the other corner. I just wanted to show it off! I think it is pretty cool. It can be used to make curvier corners without taking up extra space. P.M. me if you want to know how to do it!

Next up here is a little avenue intersection. Now those one way roads are something you commonly see in North America. In North America, when you are at a stoplight and you need to turn right, you can usually do so without waiting, but at some intersections they use these to keep traffic flowing so if you are going right, you do not have to turn a jagged turn at a stop light/intersection. It took me a little trouble to get the avenues and one way roads to coopoerate just right with each other.

Next up here is an interchange for my avenue and large avenue. (My large avenue is what you see there, with the avenue in the middle and one way road/halves of avenues two spaces away on either side.) This is going to be the center of my city. This manages traffic very well. I used one way road, one way road overpasses over avenue, an avenue roundabout, avenue, (You can also see my elevated/ground light rail in the corner.) As I said before, this works extremely well. (Once I build my city this far out, the large avenue will look more city like, although it looks very rural right now.)

Here is the point where an avenue changes into a large avenue. You can also see a little experiment with the ground light rail in the corner. I made this so traffic can spread out. It is fairly easy to make, although you need to know how to make halves of avenues.

Now, last, but not least, the llamas! (My brother and I made a farm in our city, and it grew into a llama and apple farm!

Thanks, and I hope you liked my interchanges!

(Forgive me if the last one is .PNG and you can't see it. My computer blocks it when it is in .JPEG format.)

[Haljackey 17,261]

Interesting stuff CowboySean!

Your images are .png format though. I can see them, but most others cannot. Please convert them to .jepg format so all members can see the images. .pngs also take up a lot of memory, so it would take a while for this page to load with them

If you take a picture from Sim City 4, they are in the .png format. You can use an external program to convert these into .jepg format (I use Infranview, its a free program downloadable on the internet.)

[CowboySean 0]

Ok. Let me change them. Thanks for the information. I didn't know that!

EDIT: I changed all the ones in my latest post, except for the llama's, and you will find the reason why in that post. Thanks!

[shinkansen1 84]

I've been trying for a long time to get the WTC in that image, but I can't find that lot anywhere.

[nerdly_dood 26]

This can also be done with some Road 90 turns, but I don't know the tile measurements.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

[CowboySean 0]

Cool! I did the same thing with 90 degree road turns in an earlier post.

[Crissa 1]

How's you get the one-way road to spawn off the avenue turn, C. Sean?

-Crissa

[CowboySean 0]

You take the Avenue and make a straight section. Next you make the straight avenue turn diagonal. Right where the straigt avenue transitions into the diagonal, add some one-way road in a way as if you were continuing the right side lane of the avenue. Also add some where it would be as if you were starting the diagonal's right lane. If you are still confused, say so, and I will post pictures. That would be perfectly okay with me!

Thanks for the nice comments

Here are a new, and a edited interchange by me...

The first one will connect the main routs.

I hope you like it!

[djlee1999 3]

very nice job on the puzzle pieces

[GingerBlokey 30]

Images need to be kept to 800x600 please!

[SCkid 0]

OH MY!! these are amazing. I got the NAM modd. but didn't realize it could do all this. and so far doesn't seem to be doing much differant. i'll have to expermant with it...

[chocolate_city 93]

Skinkansen--- that street in front of the World Trade Tower looks like its a 90 degree angle .... whats up with that????

[The_sanderson 6]

Nice Interchanges all!!!

[shinkansen1 84]

I'm not the one who created that! I wanted to know where I could get that B.A.T.

[Elaclairee 0]

I believe its been moved over to the SC4D Exchange.
