Three Interchanges and a Park
Today's update title says it all: I have four images for you, three of various freeway interchanges, and one of a local park. Each of today's interchanges was made possible (or at least easier to build) by NAM 33's new features, especially the improved and expanded FLEXFly repertoire.
This picture shows the R-50/R-150 corridor, from Cathlamet to the suburbs east of Midtown. As part of the efforts to extend the R-150 to the north, it has been separated from the R-50 mainline. The interchange between the two highways has also been redesigned to eliminate left-hand exits from the R-50, while still allowing traffic to flow in every direction. Now, the R-150 serves as a sort of "express lane" option to the busy R-50, with no exits of its own to surface streets (although a new interchange at 24th Street, near the top of the image, is under discussion).
This is Cool Hollow Park, right next to part the northernmost part of the above interchange. The observant among you will notice that I've redesigned the R-50/150 split a bit; technical constraints forced me to adjust the split's layout to avoid an impossible situation (i.e. three networks on the same cell).
Thanks to some of the new features in this NAM version, I was finally able to finish the R-3/R-50 interchange in midtown Nyhaven. Unfortunately, technical limitations prevent me from running 16th Street right under the flyovers, so I've had to improvise to keep traffic flowing.
Further north on the R-3, we come to the new northern terminus of the R-150. Drivers approaching from the south (top of this picture) can now choose whether to exit the freeway at Yule Avenue or continue onto the southbound R-150. I had to do quite a bit more demolition than I wanted to in the neighborhood surrounding the interchange, but such is the nature of trial-and-error construction.
