I generally don't use them.. I find I get little use and they just take up room for nothing... I really wish they were more effective, all the park and rides in my city (Ottawa) on a week day are filled beyond capacity....

Hmmm.... I don't know if that's what's going on in my game... I never use the quick save feature, always click on save, or save and exit to region... hmmmm

Yeah, I think that's what did it.... weird little bug tho' eh?

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! Jocanada

What do you think of this interchange? If you have any ideas of how to simplify this I would appreciate it.

Hello everyone! Long time lurker here. I'm working on a new city and I made a highway with collector lanes with it... was wondering what you guys thought about what I did, and do you think it is overkill? Thanks for the replies. https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//overkill1.jpg align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//overkill2.jpg align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//overkill3.jpg align=baseline> https://www.simtropolis.com/idealbb/files//overkill4.jpg align=baseline>
