Is this overkill?

[joeynymets 19]

why dont you try turning the avenues in to one way raods?

Yeah, the small, one-way high ways and avenues are redundant. It should be highway in the center, with one way roads down either side. Like this:

I'm sorry, that didn't work either

Wow... so many replies!  I appreciate everyone of them.

Zugtroll <  With the improvements you have certainly gone from total overkill to major overkill. >

 

Lol... That's good to hear.. I think.

 

<Great that you got the lights of, not just for the enviroment, I was more afraid of people lying around on the lanes to get a tan.. >

 

Hehe... yeah, the lights were one thing I thought I had to many...  I just want everyone to see where they are going!

 

<I still think the too many connections is a problem for the functionality (and reality). >

 

As for the Interchanges, I took out most of them.. I'll try taking out more and seeing how it looks, I'll post a pic of the whole thing later.

 

<Otherwise ... impressive! It must have taken a while....>

 

Thanks, it actually only took about a half an hour or so, not too bad.  Thanks for you excellent input.

 

Pjot: <There are still some problems such as the lack of overpasses and you should also flatten the ground below the highway before you place it. It looks a bit bumpy..>

 

Well, the lack of overpasses I am going to fix with tunnels, you can't do overpasses the way it is setup now.  As for the bumpyness, you are correct I should have flattened it out first.  Will do that next time.  Thanks for your comments.

 

Compromise:<That looks a lot better now althougth I think it would be better still if you got rid of those two smaller highways either side of the main one to make the layout more effishient.>

 

Thanks for the comments, the idea behind the small highways is the main highway are express lanes, and the small ones are collector or local lanes.  Toronto has this type of system and that is the basic idea behind that.  Thanks for the comments.

MadMaxis:<That looks... better. probably you should get rid of the avenue or the smaller highway(by the way, where did you get the small highways?)>

 

I am thinking of changing the avenue to one way roads.  As for the small highways, you can find out how to do them here ---> https://www.simtropolis.com/stex/details.cfm?id=4267

Thanks for your excellent comments

 

Spiff:>holy geez, lol thats overkill, plus a waste of space. in soviet russia, lights blind you.

 

lol... yes, the lights have been taken care of.  Thanks for your comments

 

MayorTim:  Thanks for the comments, as I stated above I may be changing the avenues to one-ways

 

JoeyNYmets: Please read above.  Thank you for the comment.

 

ok, everyone will update with pictures soon.  Thanks for all the excellent replies!

definitely get rid of the intermediates. Just have the ramps go from the main highway directly to the avenues.

Also, mind showing us what the other end of it looks like?

[coolotter88 2]

well, i think it might cause some commute problems on the way back home or something with all those parallel ramps.

Try something like these. You could switch some of the ramps to side ramps instead of underpasses.

Or here is some thing I did with Avenues. These take up slightly less space at the cost of some capacity.
