Entry no.12 - Gravenhurst mosaics & a taste of spaghetti
First off few little mosaics of this quaint little town before we hit the road.

Now for the spaghetti...
By that I'm referring to Spaghetti Junction one of the 3 largest highway interchanges in the region. This interchange is located in Lindin city which is just north of the city of Cisco Bay and west of Gravenhurst. After numerous delays the interchange has finally been completed. But I haven't finished putting together and organizing the photo's of it - definitely a requirement to get the full effect. Hard part is, the interchange is in two different towns. But for now, I have some interesting(I think) teaser shots.
The teaser is not an actual in-game photo, but rather what the interchange looks like on the road map.
First off the original version of the interchange, taken from entry 4:
That equates to this on the road map:
I wasn't too fond of all those extra little curves which were necessary since it wasn't possible(not at first) to connect diagonal highways to the next city over.
This interchange was part of the RHW-IRProject seen in entry 4
Here is how the new and improved interchange looks like in the regional view:
And on the road map:
First the spaghetti part, the core section:
And now in its entirety, it ended up being almost as long as a medium sized city:
For comparison purpose's I added a map of the 700-709 interchange at the same scale which basically amounts to this image seen in entry 11:
In game photo's coming up on the next episode of Pretoria, the metropolitan area.
RE: Your Comments

Thank you very much 
Trying to integrate the CJ with stuff in real life is indeed one of my favorite things to do.
As for cities skylines... to be honest I've been avoiding following it too closely and therefore any CJ's on it. I don't think its at the point where its compatible to all the things SC4 has to offer - not just yet anyways. But more importantly I still have a lot of things that I have yet to finish with SC4. That sounds weird when you consider that I've been playing the game for over 10 years now, but its precisely because I've spent so much time and effort on it that I can't possible leave things unfinished i.e this CJ and my BATing project which I'll son reveal. Even if skylines suprasses SC4 much sooner than I expect, I won't still allow myself to be distracted by another simulation game until I'm done here. And I'm sure you can attest to this; its never too late to pick up a game.

I downloaded the region off the exchange about 10 years ago, I don't know if its still on there or not - can remember its original name. But its based off a coastal area in Alaska.
Yes I do generally agree about not using small titles. If might be tough to notice, but almost all the other cities on land in the region are either medium or large sized. Gravenhurst was part of an 8 small town extension I made to the region on the east side of the map shortly after I started developing it. I wanted to add more space for suburban areas since I felt the region needed it to make it look more realistic, but I didn't want to add too much since to be honest I don't really enjoy making low density areas.
