Nice pictures, Haljackey and K5! Here are some from me:

This one is photoshopped. I'm glad with the result, hope you like it too (here's the original one to compare them).

A diamond one with raised ramps (sorry for the bad quality)

Another diamond interchange but with sunken

I really like the photoshoped one. Looks very realstic in european terms

Definitly something you could come across here in Sweden!

I've got one, and boy is it huge....

io that is a wonderful job on the photoshopping!!! WOW talk about greatness!!!

Kj your right that is a massive interchange there!!!

My latest interchange creation:

A simple trumpet that's since been rebuilt with a few extra ramps, I'll show that soon.
And yes I know there are brown boxes and weaving.

But I don't consider the weaving a problem as the onramp is very lightly used.

meinhosen · February 23, 2009, 08:28:39 PM

Weaving-shmeaving... it still looks good.

kj and io, those look amazing.

And io, that's a nice touch with Photoshop... if you had never said anything I'm pretty sure most of us would never have known.

Well, I have three points of critic about DTP's interchange.

1. A on-surface rail crossing on a highway. Personally I would prevent these intersections with an over- or an underpass, because there will occur traffic jams at that point.
2. A on-surface road intersection, just after a trumpet interchange. I think that a parclo is a way better solution here.
3. No signage. This is just a detail. In this situation, people don't know where they are going.

I hope you can use these critics.

Best,
Maarten

Meinhosen: thanks!

Maarten:
Well I allowed the at-grade intersections because the highway is an expressway... Though since I took that pic I converted that intersection to a diamond. And don't worry, it'll be signed.

Heres a 2 and a half stack interchange of mine. I have lots more pictures to show very soon!

chrisnhl · February 25, 2009, 11:13:57 PM

Here is where my hov lane ends downtown and connects with another freeeway. My Hov lanes started off to be fictional but they seem to be mainly used by trucks so trucks never go on my main road that much.

Here is another view and where it leads to...

Here is another interchange wich uses HOV lanes as well. I plan for this area to be extremely busy since I have funneled all of my roads towards this interchange. As for the RHW connection, I still have some kinks to work out.I also almost forgot to mention I added a park and ride option for commuters to park and take a bus downtown.

Feel free to comment or critique anything!

OK. In that case why are the EMIS ramps in the middle so long?

chrisnhl · February 26, 2009, 03:54:50 PM

It's for no reason J dub. Just to make it look different. I was going to originally make it so that they are elevated the entire time. When I was in L.A this summer I noticed that the I-10 looked like that where the HOV lanes were elevated due to lack of real estate.

j3r3 · February 27, 2009, 02:08:47 AM

Nice everyone. Here's one of mine.
The image is rather big and you can see the edges of the screenshots since its compiled of several ones.
Enjoy:

edit: it was supposed to be 4211x1531 but for some reason i can't get it right on imageshack. anyone?

pagenotfound · February 27, 2009, 01:42:00 PM

Its a little different now but my game crashed before i could take a new picture

Ryan B. · February 28, 2009, 08:16:53 AM

Nice job, Rob! That's really creative - and it works, too!

deathtopumpkins · March 02, 2009, 07:15:08 PM

I have more...

My pride n' joy... a new cloverleafy-thingy with very minimal weaving and complete (mostly) with signage and landscaping.

East of that:

And across that river:

(this one's incomplete)

metarvo · March 02, 2009, 07:38:36 PM

Nice work, dtp! My favorite is the interchange between the RHW-4 and RHW-6C.

j-dub · March 02, 2009, 07:53:30 PM

Love the yellow avenue texture most importantly. That yellow texture would look awesome for this situation:

In case you didn't know already, this is a real intersection, if you didn't see the real one in the real life recreations.
