One suggestion: Make the westbound lanes in the top picture 4 wide from where the ramp merges all the way through. No reason to cram everyone into 3 lanes when you've got room to comfortably fit 4.

[Kruemel95 27]

Put some effort into this city.

I think something went very wrong there:

I think that's a Wide A1 ramp, which doesn't have a type D1 counterpart

Either that or someone just bought a big can of spam

No, it's two tiles away from the (non-overhanging) tile of the RHW-6S. A type E ramp will work there, as far as I can tell.

My new cloverstack interchange.

Nope; It's a B1. A1-Wide's a lot bigger.

Don't you mean an 8S E1?

Yep.

My new cloverstack interchange.

Very realistic! You could, however, use draggable type B ramps on the RHW-4, which would take away those starter stubs on the diagonal MIS and let you fit smooth curves in those loop ramps, if you want. The draggable ramps are useful for those tight places.

I think i fixed it now.

[fonzyfb73 39]

Thanks for the criticism! I dragged the ramp onto the RHW6 in hopes of saving space. But I'll look into all of your suggestions!

Put some effort into this city.

Impressive!

My new cloverstack interchange.

Very smooth and space consuming, and realistic too, but I like it!

Ok, i will try.

[paulvmontfort 616]

here are some of my interchanges

[Evillions 552]

I like the first interchange. Very smooth!

[daderic888 215]

G'day there,

Here are 3 highway interchanges which I am basing my new city on.

Hope you like them and that you get some ideas from the images.

Sorry about the size of the images.

Cheers

also, dont make the pictures an attachement, host them online (imageshack or whaterver) and link there, preferably directly

[Moonraker0 192]

Here is one I just built. I honestly don't like the fact that the elevated one-way road has a one-tile curve like that; it just doesn't look right to me. I couldn't think of any other way to fit it in there, though.

I guess I can't embed images that I took with Steam because they somehow don't have a file extension.

Interchanges looked great after resizing them for you in photoshop, I could send you an email with the edited pics attached??

your choice -_-

[bourneid 13]

hey.... if you dont have an image editor.... check out Gimp.... it has most of the features of photoshop.....for the forums make them 800x600.... sc4devotion also has a pretty cool program in the downloads section of the Lex ( search power search / lex type: tools: player) for the Clip2pic.... runs in the background and takes Jpg pics in the correct size for posting to forums

[D3LM3L 0]

Here are two interchanges of mine that I think are pretty cool. I hope you enjoy them!

[Charlie_Zane 963]

those interchanges look very smooth and very realistic!

Thanks halenbyname

If you could please, appreciated and thanks.

And thanks everyone for the tips.

Deal with it. In Real Life, you also can't simply build a freeway through a city. And I'm not even talking about protests against new freeways. Freeways consume quite a lot of room, especially in the interchanges. It's no different in Real Life. Maxis Highways are way too small, in lane width (only 3m) as well as interchange sizes (225x225m for the cloverleaf interchane). Real life interchanges are at least twice as big, but often three or four times as big. The RHW takes up a no more than reasonable amount of surface area. In fact, you still can build compact interchanges with the RHW, even when using wider RHW variants:

Also, I see you like to build your interchanges close together. You obviously have never heard about weaving, do you? It's a much undesired effect that causes traffic jams and my also raise the risk of accidents. My advice is to put the ramps preferably 1km apart.

There are some wider RHW bridges under development in the future, but that will have to wait until the next release (due to implementation troubles):

At least, we now have RHW-2 and RHW-4 bridges, as well as MIS, RHW-2, RHW-4 and RHW-6S and 6C overpasses.

There were plans from some team to make a full concrete texture set for the RHW as well as the NWM and all Maxis networks, but as far as I know, that mod was never completed. Don't blame the RHW mod for it; it's labour intensive to make such a mod (it took me 3.5 months to completely Eurofy the RHW).

Best,

Maarten

There are 3 and 4 RHW laned bridges? Did I miss anything?

[MandelSoft 2,769]

Yes. You missed that they were unreleased to this day. Read the post again carefully

Why not a railroad interchange for a change?

This interchange was built in one of my side regions, in the city of Borlin. Since this centric city is a major railroad hub, keeping trains running as fast as possible is essential, and thus makes for a greater need of minimizing crossings and maximizing possible routes available to both passenger (local, metropolitan and regional) and freight.

[Haljackey 17,270]

Why not a bullet train interchange as well?

Great work guys.

[westy177 203]

heres a directional t interchange i made some time ago

[WiiGoGetter 65]

Heres a rail/subway/elevated rail intercahnge

And a 5 way freeway jct

[Ganaram Inukshuk 906]

Well,... A setup like that might not get you many brohoofs... (Hint hint...) My recommendation: Slope mod.

[Moskva 75]

Yeah, if you belong to the group of eye-candy nazies (like me), you'll want a slope mod or do slopes by yourself, like i've been always doing.
