Show us your...Intersections

[tamorr]

True enough... Although in my oppinion you could make the second one better with the one-way by using the roundabout right at those two intersections. It basically cuts the traffic lights to keep the traffic flowing... That's the way I see it.
   Ever try and put a Road roundabout in the first one near the avenue? That might be different... But it is the way I would go about it.   Either way I still lke the looks of them.

Hmm, I see what you mean. I'll have a tinker tonight, and see how it looks, and post pics here

[danielra96]

i just made this
sorry for the size
another noob mistake

[dragonshardz]

Strategist: I'll make an example and post here.

Your interchange is very good, but I think this one will get you the smoother, faster traffic-flow you're looking for while reducing congestion.



In yours, there are 4 intersections: the two road T's and the OWR/Road +'s. + intersections get congested pretty quickly, but the Roundabouts (anti-clockwise, might I add) remove a total of 8 stop points, reducing congestion and making traffic flow smoother.

It also looks a bit cleaner.

[Strategist01]

Ah, I see. I will implement in a city with more space Thank you.

Another note: Replace those EL-road pieces to and from the ramps (not the roundabout) with El-OWR, as the ramps themselves are one way, making the whole thing look more realistic.

[dragonshardz]

Yeah, that would work better, wouldn't it?

[Q-Tips]

Could this be a more simple way to do it?
Well, i havent used maxis highway.

[jackxu]

My one...

[j-dub]

@jackxu, another old style Maxis highway, almost looks like something you would see in Los Angeles, California.

@dragonshardz, if that is your picture below Strategist's, which version of the highway restyling mod was that? I had a texture variation something like that before, except with the Maxis textures, but with the wider shoulder, anyway, whatever that version is, I think the texturing was more eye appealing. I had been using cement instead of asphalt though, if that made a difference.

[dragonshardz]

It's Mtlnrn's HRS, asphalt+shoulder.

[j-dub]

Ah, it is the asphalt one, okay thanks, I'll just check my archived unused files.

[MandelSoft]

It's actually the V0.1 asphalt texture of the HRS

[Rady]

Ok, so this is the first time ever for me to post a picture in one of these marvellous showcase threads. Her's my first (thus still far from perfect) pure RHW intersection:



Any suggestions are warmly welcome!

As the expert may discover without problems, there are two connections missing that would make up for a complete (all-directional) interchange ... but due to lack of professionalism in the city's road planing departement there's no space left to implement this     

[zakuten]

Sana`e: This is an ultra-compact interchange from one of my cities, with no realism at all. But hey, it works.

Eki-su: This intersection I've named "Five Tails", but.... yeah. It's gotta be absolutely horrible for safety.

Edit: I'd upload, but right now my stuff is wonky, sorry.

[j-dub]

Heres a sort of avenue over a diagonal RHW 4 X. The ramps had to be altered to make room for shopping center.

[Shadow Assassin]

Just a practice run with the FARHW pieces. In the creation of this interchange, I realised that there were pieces missing... but perhaps in time for another release.

[Earth quake]

Wow, wonderfull Interchanger.

[Ryan B.]

That's just not fair.



Nice work!
