Show us your...Intersections

[mike3775]

Nice even minus the one exit

[Gugu3]

@mike: I'll show you a pic of the complete interchange so that you will see that all entrances/exits are there

[noahclem]

Great interchanges Gugu3    I really like the uniqueness and creativity of their layouts. The cities around them look really nice as well!

There are a couple places where I would suggest using Fractional Angle stuff. In the first picture 3 of the ramps could have an FA exit (type F1) and then a FA-to-ortho curve instead of type D1 and an "S"-curve, just for a little smoother look.

Keep up the great work

I have no idea why I did this... it's messy, oversized, pointless..:

Hmm, I'd just call it awesome, though.

Don't take my saying missing the one exit, there are a few exits like that in my area, where there is not a 4 way interchange but only 2 way(1 way onto the highway westbound, and no entrance Eastbound at all) and it allows traffic to avoid going to the next exit and clogging up even more a clogged road

It will be surrounded by buildings because that tile is going to be the CBD...

Looks like something Hal would build with Maxis Hghways. Lol

Eh? 



Anyways since you guys liked the last one so much, here's another RL recreation of an interchange:

It's a design I made about a year ago but decked out with the shields, text and map.

With all the T Intersections it looks like what happens when you have high capacity MHW/RHW Interchanges.

One more decked out RL recreation just cuz

very realistic hal. Unfortunately having  that on a 4km² sc4 map is not very practical when added the exits and entrances. 

[pagenotfound]

hal do i have permission to copy that?      Looks awesome!

lol, go right ahead.



Another one. Thanks to Deathtopumpkins for making one of the signs!

Heh. I think this may be your best so far! (Although hard to compare with full interchanges).

Cheers

[Kitsune]

but... we need all the concrete surrounding it too just like RL

[mike3775]

Awesome.  I am so saving that picture to use as a guide for turning my dual RHW-10's into an express/local highways and putting one of those in in every city they go through

EDIT:  Found a pic of how I normally allow them to swap between local/express (which IMO sucks, but it works)

[Durfsurn]

mike: at least it works!
Here's a rather weird hybrid interchange:

[mike3775]

Interesting design Durfsurn. 

I tried using the 3/2 RHW-10 splitter on a trial last night, and if I attempt it with 2 lanes each, it takes up way to much space to make it worthwhile to use.  I may try playing around with flups and one way roads though, which would probably work and probably not even require much more room at all.

@Durfsurn: You can use 90° FLEX-Fly too!! It's a little squared the down-right ramp. But interesting design.

@Haljackey: Your reproductions of real interchanges are speechless!!

[Durfsurn]

I have made some modifications to the interchange and will post pics soon.

[Haljackey]

This is sort or off-topic but I am 'showing' you an 'intersection'


Today I was on a tour showcasing infrastructure improvements in Mississauga, Ontario (a city next to Toronto and larger than Detroit). One of the projects showcased was a 'lane doubling' of Highway 401 which included the expansion of an interchange with Hurontario Street, the 'main street' of Mississauga.

It wasn't the greatest day weather-wise but I did manage to take a bunch of pics of the construction work. You can view them here if interested: http://www.dropbox.com/sh/2e5lsmi0w5136v1/4-MyPtLO09


Anyways great intersections guys, keep showin em!
