I noticed in a couple of MD's that people use parallel road ramps to connect to one way parrallel exits, for example here in Balnavia (http://img152.imageshack.us/img152/7113/rosevillesep14331204353ij0.jpg) were roundabouts were needed to avoid a sudden stop of the road. The road is only needed for connecting traffic from the highway to the crossing avenue.
By using a different type of exit or ramp, connecting to OW road, an intersection like this becomes possible:

In this tutoral I will show how to build such an intersection.
Step 1:
Build an elevated High way

Step 2:
Build an OW road parallel to the highway, with at least 2 tiles, in the direction that you want the ramp to connect to the highway

Step 3:
Make sure that 5 tiles are available to place the ramp

Step 4:
Select in the highway menu the tool to build Oneway Parallel Ramps (the last button)

Step 5:
Place the cursor on the last tile of the OW Road

Step 6:
Use the TAB-key to select the desired exit/ramp (in this case 4x TAB: oneway parallel exit connecting to OW road)
(https://www.sc4devotion.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fi241.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fff155%2Fdgnk_amsterdam%2FOW%2520exits%2Ff177d1ac.jpg&hash=3f69186ce4bc61f216214a331e51261ef466a2af)
Step 7:
You can bulldoze everything except the ramp, the connecting OW tile to the ramp, and the 6 tiles of highway that are parallel to the ramp and that OW tile.

Step 8:
You can connect every roadtype to this ramp by using OW roads, from any direction.

Very Handy :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Nice clear explanation too :thumbsup:
Thank you for sharing these tips with us.
:satisfied:

Nice tutorial. If only it were possible for ground highways &mmm
Very handy sebes, and I will keep this in mind. However the example you used from my MD isn't really relevant as I was using ground hwys and as caspervg commented, at present I don't think what you suggest is possible with the ground hwy pieces available.
