Show us your...Intersections

[samerton]

Very nice work TJ1!

[Highrise99]

This is a partial basketweave interchange where the north/south bound highway splits and becomes two highways.  I've been working quite a while through multiple designs entirely to achieve this.

[jondor]

Here's a partially diagonal Parclo A2.  Speeds are low because of the tighter angular turns, unfortunately the local construction company has trouble thinking outside the box.   It's a local feeder highway though, so it works out alright.  The city is waiting on the beautification project to see if they will have to have the interchange rebuilt first.

@ Highrise99: Nice curves! Very smooth! The EMIS has no supports on diagonals... it's annoying   

@ jondor: I think that junction is nice! It doesn't need the beautification!

Here is an interchange I made a long time ago:


It would be nice to have some inside type-B exit/entrance ramps and some Type-B diagonal exit/entrance ramps. What do you guys think?

Great interchange! And I agree, it would be very helpful with such pieces.


Now, here's a trumpet interchange I made back with the RHW 3.x, now converted to RHW 4.0 (that is, smooth curves and such).

nice pics riiga! if you dont mind me asking where did you get that texture mod for the RHW (mine are all yellow lined and american looking, and even though I live in the states I like the euro style better

also, you give them an acceleration lane going to the north even though the ramp is pretty straight (straight enough to get up to speed) but no deceleration lane on the other side when theres a sharp 90 degree turn right off the highway... Either way it looks good

[riiga]

Thank you for your kind words travismking! 

The Euro texture mod was made by Maarten and can be found here.

Regarding the acceleration and deceleration lanes, I try to make them as realistic to me as possible. Here in Sweden, there are always acceleration lanes, even if the on-ramp is long enough, though with some exceptions. Likewise, deceleration lanes are very uncommon, even where there are sharp turns afterwards. At least they are uncommon on rural stretches, such as this one.

There is often also a sign posted informing drivers about such sharp turns when exiting, such as seen here. The triangle-shaped red and yellow warning sign indicates that there is sharp bend to the right coming up, and the text below reads "Applies to exit".

thanks we have similar signs and traffic patterns here, but on highways (always interstates, most of the time on controlled access roads) there are acceleration and deceleration lanes, guess its just different planning and driving habits.. Since Americans are such rude and aggressive drivers its probably better this way :p

Since Americans are such rude and aggressive drivers

I never saw that when I was over there. Come over here and we'll make any nation's drivers look calm and courteous.

We don't have anything really like that over here, you just kinda hope and pray that you see it coming.

Did you know that the DRI feature in RHW 4.0 allows for the construction of draggable Type-B inside ramps?  There doesn't seem to be a puzzle piece for this in the menu, so I guess it's draggable only.  I've used it in the interchange shown below.


This is an interchange for the intersection of an RHW-2 with an RHW-4 that is designed to use no land on the other side of the RHW-4.

[riiga]

Cool interchange metarvo! I really those FAR roads.

No, I did not know that! Thanks for pointing that out.

SR-71 Bypass Intersection in the City of Newbaum
For some reason, the sims in Newbaum really enjoy using SR-71, which causes many traffic issues near F-30, so I built a bypass under the freeway, just to the East of SR-71.  It diverges in the South with a simple intersection, the Northern junction is much more involved.

Basic principles of a cloverleaf, just somewhat warped xD

[Haljackey]

Geesh you're on the ball there Craig. Awesome design!

Just throw some more smooth curves in there and that junction will look better than ever!

[MandelSoft]

While testing out the upcoming version of the RHW (v4.1.0) and building the final section of the A16 in Imaginia I managed to build three cloverleaf interchanges in the same large city tile (called Newlandervayne)! All thanks to swamp_ig's new curved MIS transistions!

A5 x A9: Stadium Crossing:

This interchange used the have much wider and rectangular cloverleafs. Now they are way rounder and narrower.

A5 x A16: Alphen Crossing:


A3 x A16: Hogevelden Crossing:

Couldn't build this interchange before because I didn't had enough room. Now with the new ramps I can.

Oh, and there is another new feature hidden in these pictures. Can you spot it?

Best,
Maarten

[Hadrean2]

  Are those gradual sloping and curving ramps?
