"Let us be scientists and as such, remember always that the purpose of politics
is not freedom, nor authority, nor is any principle of abstract character,
but it is to meet the social needs of man and the development of the society"

— Valentín Letelier, 1895

Not an interchange actually. Not even a complex crossing. Just some road marking artistry by the city of Düsseldorf, Germany.

I saw many crazy stuff a couple weeks ago in Southern California, but this interchange left me really impressed [link]. We don't have many of these in Europe! It was unavoidable to get distracted off the driving just looking at the super tall ramps and special ramps for carpools.

Now why this one isn't all that complex I still believe it to be worthy of sharing , it is the Eastern end of I-4 in Central Florida.  I plan to create something like this in the new section of my region that uses RHW

Was "flying" over Honolulu and Oʻahu with Google Earth Pro when, while following Interstate H-3 out of Hālawa Valley, I spotted her:

At center is Hālawa looking west towards Aloha Stadium and Pearl Harbor.  The Queen Liliʻuokalani Freeway section of Interstate H-1 forms the "arms," reaching from Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam on the upper left of the image to Aiea and Pearl City on the upper right of the image.  Interstate H-201, the Moanalua Freeway, forms the "leg" on the lower left of the image and will eventually reconnect with the wrap-around H-1, which then continues further on to Honolulu International Airport and downtown Honolulu.    Interstate H-3, the John A. Burns Freeway, forms a "leg" leading to and through the Hālawa Valley off to the lower right of the image.  Also joining the mix is the Kamehameha Highway, skirting the top of the Aloha Stadium "head."  I won't even try to sort out how the tangle of streets, loops, and flyovers create the...ahem...curvilinear body at the junction.

Somehow, I'm sure she's female, and an athletic runner too.

 

I admit, I am usually miserly on my highways in SimCity, but I am definitely now going to figure out how to sneak her in.

By the way, don't be fooled by the skinniness of the H-3 leg, for it is actually among the most beautiful of freeways as its viaducts course through the valleys and tunnel through the mountains of the Koʻolau mountain range:
