NAM: Requests

white lines on the outer edges of the road.

One thing that would be very helpful: Orthogonal single ramps to and from diagonal highways. Only one tile would actually be needed for the connection to the highway, and this would allow interchanges without requiring a highway to run in a straight line for several tiles. Ideally, this would be available for both elevated and ground highways. And maybe even a version where the ramp connects to a curve.

Originally posted by: vistla Okay, this is the request thread, right?! Can anyone make a larger variety of highway intersections? More specifically, I would love to see a elevated/ground HWY clover leaf intersection..quote>

That would really be sweet and would be very useful... also a set of GROUND highway interchanges (i.e. half cloverleaf) could... would..and should really really help  

[TONYHOTROD64 14]

One helpful thing would be on and off ramps and interchanges for the Rural Highway

Tony,

They are in the works. Tarkus has RL to deal with. Some of us have lives outside of SC4

I'm wondering if draggable Ave/GLR is being made. And also if it's possible to have longer puzzle ppieces like a 5x2 Ave/GLR stright section?

I have a idea for ground highway

Road and Ground Highway connect without needing Avenue

It called (Ground Highway intersection)

the picture is created with photoshop by me

Though my idea is a small part of big project

[warrior 169]

jimmy3421: I know at least in England that the main point in motorways (highways) is having no junctions/interchange/etc. slowing traffic down, which is one thing that makes motorways different to dual-carrige ways (avenues)

[jimmy3421 0]

In order to emphasize the authenticity of Simcity,so I has this idea

[tjh876 31]

Well I think this has already been asked for but what about and interchange that one highway goes straight while another goes of diagonally starting of of the highway going straight. And another idea ( This might be impossible) a double decker bridge (a highway splits and one way travels on the top deck and another on the bottom deck) in a highway an avenue form. this may be cool bridge addition to SC4!!! But to me it is imposible 

[jimmy3421 0]

ok......

I have to repose the hope in the rural highway.....

But it has no news....

[jplumbley 5]

@jimmy3421 RHW has had alot of news in the past 2 months. You should maybe goto SC4Devotion to see whats happening there as that is where all the Transit Modders have gone to.

You think we could get some highways that look like these? Only finished and working

[masssc4 3]

could the I-95,I-295,I-495,Route 141 junction in Delaware be one of the selectable interchanges, if it could be done that would be wonderful

[Swamper77 90]

You going to create the model for it? The NAM Team doesn't have enough time nor members to handle everyone's requests, much less spending time on creating the models for interchanges. If you want to see an idea of yours in the NAM, put in the time and effort to create the models and textures for your idea so all we have to do is code it in.

I see where you got the idea Jimmy, I mean in Ottawa the 'Queensday aka 417" which is the only major highway in ottawa splits into the 417/174 and the 174 Heads towards the Eastern Townships, and it is like the Rural Highways we have on this thing.

I personally don't like the idea of Connecting the Road to the 6-laned version... it just doesn't look right ya know..

I have three logical on/off ramps requests (All links and picture are from Wikipedia, my bad)

*Here is  the first:  http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/56/Autobahn_anschluss1.jpg

 

If anyone is wondering this called a Parclo Interchange

*My second request is called an Single-point urban interchange: 

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Spui-schematic.svg

*Finally an ground to ground stacked interchange:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Stackedjunction.jpeg

[Haljackey 17,270]

Fresh Prince of Wmbg:

You can create that parclo using one-way roads and on/off ramps included in the NAM.

The SPUI has not been developed because of the awkward pathing it uses. There were attempts in the past to create it, but it was too complex for the game.

The stack interchange is found in the NAM. All you have to do is "elevate" one of your ground highways for the interchange.

[BigSlark 0]

Tarkus (Alex) is making great progress on the Modular Intersection System for the Network Addon Mod. I don't think SPUI's are possible yet, but everything else will before too long. Check it out on the NAM forums of sc4devotion.com

Isn't the MIS for the RHW not for Maxis Highway?

[Swamper77 90]

Correct. MIS is for the RHW ONLY.

[Need4Camaro 50]

I want to know, how do I develope the models for an Highway Exit ramp turning into a oneway road? I don't want a ramp that merges into a parralell road, just a ramp that turns into a one way road much like the Elevated Highway ramp does

[warrior 169]

You need the interchange tutorial by redlotus, just search the forums for "interchange tutorial", and you should find a link to download it from. It's quite heavy reading, quite tough and can take a long time, not to put you off or anything.

Sometimes in the middle of a city, I see interstates abd highways intersecting with roads, streets and avenues, but instead of using on-ramps and off-ramps, they intersect using traffic lights. I was wonderinbg if you could add intersections like that into the game, where you would have 'road x ground highway', 'avenue x ground highway', 'street x ground highway', and 'ground highway x ground highway' intersections. If you put those in, you could make urban highways seem more realistic!

Also, could you create urban highways that have 4 lanes? I was thinking that the N.A.M. needs 4 lane highways, in which there are 2 lanes on the right, and 2 on the left. You would also need a transition from the 6 lanes, to the 4 lanes. I also think that you should have 6 lane highway in which one lane on each side is a carpool lane. The carpool laned highway would be slightly more expensive, but would also help reduce traffic and air pollution in that area.

My third idea is simple: an elevated rail over elevate highway. (I am sorry if this has already been suggested. Please don't delete my post if it has. I just didn't see it anywhere.)

If you take in my requests I will be very happy. Thanks!

[warrior 169]

Just today Shadow Assasin showed some pictures of what he did with the RHW and he made a 4 lane urban highway, if you want to check it out for yourself go to the RHW thread at sc4devotion. It's more than amazing.

[xmike1991 2]

can somebody make an elevated rail over road t-junction like that

link

and a 90degree turn?

that would make it good for city centres, you could have like a loop kinda thing.

[Swamper77 90]

Smoncrie made the models for such intersections awhile back for Elevated Rail Over Road, but the pieces disappeared with him

[MITB LS 1]

I'm not sure if this suggestion has already been asked for (and I'm not going to look through all 40+ pages to find it), but for the GLR, is can someone create a track-road intersection where the track is going diagonal and vice versa? I've downloaded the latest NAM, and I can't seem to find that piece anywhere. I don't like sharp 90 degree turns in my GLR system, and I'd like it if someone would make it (or tell me where it is).

[Fresh Prince of Wmbg 44]

 I don't think this has been thought up yet but what about installing traffic lights at highway  to road/avenue/one way road intersections?

[Jazzmaster 716]

You mean for rural highways? Sounds like a good idea.
