No, I dont 
"Pic 5.18: I love that intersection.
The RHW6C splitter to 2x RHW4+RHW2 is a piece with so much potential yet i seldom see it used."

This is one of those occasions where this piece comes in pretty handy

Newlandervayne is on the outskirts of the Capital District, located west from Hoogerhey. The city has only about 110 000 inhabitants, though it does have quite some skyscrapers. The further west you go, the lower the building densities become and so it's truly a metropolis outskirt.
Fun fact: I completely reconstructed the entire city (AKA demolishing everything, do some terraforming, reconstruct the road networks and build everything up again). This large city tile used to have 350 000 inhabitants. During the reconstruction, this has been decreased to only 130 000 (partially because I didn't want the skyscraper. Part of this city is technically part of Hoogerhey and Hertenkamp.
First, we start at the old city center (Oudesteede) on the central island of the city. It's a mix of wooden and stone buildings from the 18th and 19th century...
Next up we have the new city center, ruled by towers and offices...
But it's not all offices; here we have some ressidences too!
A part of Sallandia, technically part of Hoogerhey
Next up is the Kattenbergh district. It's build on a hilly area, but as I recently applied over at more locations in Imaginia, this district is build in a Terrace Style fashion...
Here we have Oudesteede Avenue, which connects Oudesteede with the N25 by a bridge. Here it passes Otterswyk...
A clever rail junction near Otterswyk...
Moving west, we have the district of Nieuwwest. With exception of an office area in the east, it's mostly a low-rise residential area
Moving on to the north to Klarenberghe, also built in Terrace Style and also mostly low-rise...
To the south, on the other side of the river, we have Assenwyck. This district has quite some appartment blocks for the poorer residents...
The local soccer stadium...
... and here a part of Hertenkamp-North...
And here we have some of my obligatory Road Geekery. We start with the main East-West-corridor of Imaginia, the C75...
Next up the N25 approaching the Oudehands Bridge...
Here the N25 crosses the A5 by a roundabout interchange...
... not far east from Assenwyck Crossing, where the A5 crosses the A16...
And a final pic of the A5 to conclude this update:
This is the final SC4D Of Special Interest This Month update. I hope you enjoyed the past few updates. Though I might be updating this CJ in the future, it will be less often than the past few weeks. Until then, see you later!
Best,
Maarten
