Show us your...Intersections

its is a plain old turbine but the onramps merge before joining the main carriageway.

Just a few pictures of the many interchanges on the two Main Routes in my city of Mansfield.

All of the interchanges are part of the cross country N1 and N2 routes within Mansfield Metropolitan Boundaries.

Apologies for the lack of actual traffic. My public transport systems seem to be so effective as to leave little or no car use on the motorways. Their main purpose anyways is to connect Mansfield to other cities while the public transport system consisting of Heavy rail, MetroRail and bus services connects the suburbs and boroughs to the main business districts of Mansfield city centre proper, and Turnham which is the main economic centre where most high-rise development takes place.

@ darraghf: A very nice range of interchanges there 

[Cali]

really nice set-up. 

[Nego]

Really nice interchanges, darraghf! I especially like this one: Keep up the great work!

A bit offtopic, but that sunken rail by the airport, where might that be found?

H2Odk, thank you kindly! Here's one of mine, but it's rather terrible.

This one's inspired by Shanghai, where I studied for a while-- Several of the major roads have elevated highways built onto them, which I tried to replicate the feel of. Putting the avenue in the middle was purely aesthetic, but it wound up with this. It's an ugly interchange for sure, but somehow it feels like the kind of head-scratcher someone might actually build to me.

Playing with the new avenue MIS ramps:

@io_bg: Nice parclo and nice use of FARHW!
@DTP: a simple, yet very usefull setup 

[Haljackey]

You know, there is some very creative and great looking junctions on this page and the last. Great work everyone!

zakuten: I don't think that's terrible, I think it's unique. Nice job!

darraghf: Your images seem squished. It's too bad because I really like your junctions and would like to see them in better detail!



Here's some of my newer creations.

Half-diamond on an expressway built in a very narrow right of way.


Another half-diamond a bit further down the road completes access to all directions of the expressway.


Zooming out, you can see a star junction built at the edge of the city boundary. Stars are quite compact and keep entering and exiting traffic off the intersecting road. Access is provided by roads running parallel to the freeway/expressway.


A parclo interchange located on a freeway in an agricultural zone. To the north the terrain becomes hilly and the RHW transitions into a ground highway. This is done because the shoulder becomes an additional lane for slow trucks and has barriers on either side of the carriageway.


A major intersection with double left turning lanes located near a busy diverging diamond junction.


I thought this is interesting to show: a OWR-3/OWR-4 intersection.

I'm seeing some great stuff here! Keep up the great work, everyone!

Thanks for your thoughts. The reasons I squishes them is because that is how I see them on my screen. My laptop resolution is 1366x768 but the game has to be 1024x768, so for me the game is always squished like that and I have come accustomed it. I thought I'd show the pictures in the way I see them.

Regarding your pics, top standard as always! I can never fault your planning and construction. You're much more creative than I can be with the RHW.

Looks like you haven't set a custom resolution. I play SC4 at 1920x1080 (16:9) and 1920x1200 (16:10) depending on what I'm doing. If you have a shortcut on your desktop linking to your C drive, right click the icon and click properties. Add this to the target: "C:\Program Files\Maxis\SimCity 4 Deluxe\Apps\SimCity 4.exe" -l:english -Intro:off -CustomResolution:enabled -r1366x768x32
-If all goes well, you'll set a custom resolution for SC4 that isn't stretched or squished.

Getting back on topic, thanks for the compliments! Even if you don't have a vision you can modify your existing networks to make them better. It does take a lot of experience and trial and error, however.

I actually run the sc4 on steam, so that target won't work with me

[samerton]

Some great interchanges!

Nor will Shift+Tab.

I love this thread. So much creativity.

Ha ha ha! Yes it will!
Stick the extra settings in the Launch Options field in Properties and it's just like a Retail Version.
