Road/Avenue merges - how to do this in the least number of tiles?

[Crissa]

I've been poking at interchanges, trying to replicate ones I've seen - some I can, others I can't.  There seems to be alot of variation on what will and won't work.

But I've seen a few interchanges I can't duplicate, and even so, it leaves me wondering if I'm doing it the best way, or if someone has a puzzle-piece I'm missing.

The basic ones I'm playing with are:

• One-Way Street to two parallel One-Way Streets (for RHW8, interchanges, or traffic diversions from an avenue;

This one seems to be pretty tough; I haven't gotten hang of the diagonal starter pieces, but often I find I just can't drag the road in the right direction - I have to build it one way and then re-build it somehow so the flow is going the right way.  RHW dosn't reverse flow like One-Way does, so it's sometimes maddening, but I've mostly got it, even if the curved merges are kinda icky looking.

• Avenue Diagonal to One-Way Streets Diagonal

Holy moly, the One-way Streets Diagonal is hard to start up; sometimes it wants to double back on itself, and it seems to take be five tiles before I can get the spread from two tiles (avenue) to three (seperate one ways)  Anyone have tips?

• Avenue Diagonal to RHW4 Diagonal

Is this even possible?

• Avenue Diagonal to RHW2

I saw a picture, but gosh if I know how it happened.

• Road to Avenue

This simplist one seems to be the worst, it always seems to want an intersection.

So, anyone have some tips on these basic interchanges?

easiest way is to come of of diagonal and as the road/ OWR turns onto the orthogonal it merely occupies two tiles of width rather than one.
