Meanwhile, they spend millions of federal money on bridges in my state that ultimately end up under used.

Yep same here.  People want them to rebuild Cline Avenue in Lake County, even though when it was built in the 1970's it was to handle twice as many vehicles as it did when it was closed a year or so ago due to shoddy maintenance and building material.

Forgive me for assuming you guise were stupid enough not to realise how obvious that was. "OTL

Anyhow, here's a contribution:-



This is tougher than it looks.

Nice use of the double decker, one of these days I am gonna play with that one

Gurning_Chimp

Definitely give it a go, it's a great little tool for when your city is gridlocked and space is at a premium. No double decker intersections though which is a shame, hence why mine is just a straight line from the highway north to Bay City through Downtown New Leon then ending just as Followill Industrial Park is reached.

I think i am gonna love this thread. Now, coming to my region, i had to connect the bypass around Lenin'sk (my core city of 220k people  :P) with the freeway going north. The problem is the connection had to be made in an area that already was developed, the northern suburb of Strela. There was only one way to connect the two freeways without destroying half Strela...

The interchange was made by 2 T styled ones, nearby a mountain, causing no little environmental issues.
It's better to have few railways more instead of a jungle of highways.

nice use of MHW.  Also like the tunnel just after the interchange, well done

@ Gurning_Chimp: I'm gonna have to try the DD-RHW4 as well... Nice use of it there  :thumbsup:

@ Sojuz: Reminds me of so many junctions in my regions! I also use "Double-Ts" in place of cloverleafs, sometimes with an extra "T" for ultra-compactness AND local access - "Triple-T"! Yours looks great  :D

Makes a great bypass(or Express lanes) though, which is probably what I would use it for.

It'd be easier to use if the lower deck was at L1...

Exactly, hence why I used it as an expressway through the city centre.

How so?

Then we could put elevated road and avenue in between, shortening ramp length; the L2 to L3 MIS ramp piece is effectively useless compared to the other three ramps...

Not particularly, you can have that ramp go off and attach to an elevated roadway else where or it will create a ramp that is a bit shorter when used with the normal elevated ramp.

I beg to differ. See my previous pictures for an example.

I think the reasoning behind the L2/L3 deck setup on the DDRHW will make more sense once L1 networking is implemented.

If they make a 10 lane double decker, I will have a crapload of additional room to zone for more residences and businesses(IE porn and gun shops - see oddity thread to get the joke  lol)
