diverging diamon interchange

[PrinceErik 0]

this is the first picture ive ever posted. its a basic DDI. tell me what you think.

...think? Well, i like it. Quite cool interchange, actually.

Well, personally I don't like Diverging Diamond interchanges. I'd rather use a dumbell-interchange or a two-level-roundabout interchange.

Interesting litle monster, even though I just got the new RHW, havent found a situation in my region that would call for it... yet. Its a bit confusing, and Im a stubborn, cranky driver from NYC, who's very resistant to change, but I guess the reversed lanes are for elminating the need for stoplights, right?

yep

I feel you on this one.  The day I see one of these things in the city will be the day I know for sure that Jersey is trying to take us over.

Its interesting, but personally I don't like it. But thankyou so much for showing us anyway.

its more of an aesthetic experiment then an exercise of utility. i probably wouldn't use it in a city either. i was just trying to play around with the new RHW 4.0. the may 10 NAM, RHW and NWM all turned out pretty cool.

where did you get those reversed lanes?

[kolnikov inc 1]

you gotta download the May 10 Real Highway mod (aka RHW 4.0) if you have that then go to the 'avenue overpasses' icon and hit 'shift - tab' and you'll see it. the DDI.

In my opinion the only real way RHW can work is if it is planned from the start. Not necicerrily placed but spaces left for it; and it must be region wide. Once you farmillirise yourself with the pieces and how it works it can be quite effective. Just look at some of Hiyjarky's (something like that) cities!

Sadly i cannot try the new NAM as i am suffering from severe computer issues at the moment (motherboard went POP!) and the company that i baught it from just a month before seems to think that there is nothing wrong with it. Being 15 there really isnt much i can do other than keep asking for a new one or a repair.

Sorry for the rant, normal service will resume.... NOW!!

[ROFLyoshi 1,760]

Being 15, I feel sorry for you.

DDI looks good in game.  I actually passed under the one in MO, and almost missed it (its sort-of out in the middle of nowhere).  My only problem is that its all well an nice when its in a rural area, but in the city, at the wrong intersection, the back-up from the stoplights on the street might be annoying.
