Firstly, this second attempt at a diverging diamond interchange:

And this thing that feeds into my downtown area:

Nice!

It seems you forgot to recheck RU:US edition again :lol:

Haha :D
Believe it or not, I actually thought about it in time: but I switched back to the N. American texture pack because it has fewer glitches than the US pack (especially the nodes: most are pretty hard on the eyes, and some are completely missing), but unfortunately that one isn't perfect either (no yellow stripes on highways). But it still beats the default textures (both do, actually).

Here's a couple of interchanges from my current city (you may notice I like long ramps and don't care about symmetry):

I swear,i'm not accepting bribes from the local paving company.

That's one crazy interchange. I'm looking at it, and somehow, it actually does make sense in an insane kind of way. Is this based on any real-life interchange?

Wow. Holy crap. I'm looking at it now. For some reason it doesn't look that crazy when I'm seeing it on Google Maps. You actually have it pretty damn close.

Are you doing a recreation of Manhattan?

I ve been Lurkin on these forums for quite a while now but all those beautiful pictures really inspired me and I wanted to show my interchange, the lay-out is kinda complete, but the scenery still needs to be worked on. Also, sorry for the low graphics, I kinda only have a laptop with an gt650m so anything better and it becomes a really good oven.

Hello guys! I just got this game and I already love it! I have been watching videos of it on YouTube for a little while aswell, but now I can build stuff myself! I have just made this almost fully connected 6-way interchange (the only way you can't go to is the way back) as the start of a city and I'm pretty proud of it. What do you guys think? Let me know ^^

The interchange looks good, but why would you build that monster on such a small island :D

One word: aesthetics! I just love the look of interchanges from the sky. I'm just building this city for fun and if it actually functions is just a bonus for me. All my commercial and in industry is already leaving cuz there are not enough goods/workers XD.

A few other pictures of the service interchanges around my downtown area:

Gotta love the elevated highway going through the downtown :D

It still needs a lot of polishing in my opinion, but I think this is a fair start.

BTW, look at those icons XD

This was my first city using one of the default tropical themed maps.  I built a massive industrial area seperated by this one bridge from the main city.  The resulting traffic was epic until I came up with this conveyor-style ramp system.

Parkway leading from the suburbs into a commercial/high density area and connecting to the expressway.  I divided up the bridge going northbound into a local/express so that traffic would flow more efficiently.   This is the opposite side:

A major interchange that allows traffic to continue on toward the outer suburbs/map exit unimpeded or split off for the local attractions.

@oslondavid - thank you very much :)
For the roads I use Roads United Core+ mod with the North America Plus texture pack.
The map textures are custom: you can download them here. You can either create a custom map theme with them, or, like I do, use them with the Terrain Texture Replacer mod.
Also, I've only used these these custom textures in combination with temperate maps (they may look pretty different on other biomes), and with the Natural Color LUT.

Changed up and went with a snowy map this time. Here is a Clover Stack interchange I built:
