How to build a Parallel Oneway Intersection

[sebes]

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 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)


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
Nice clear explanation too

Thank you for sharing these tips with us.

Nice tutorial. If only it were possible for ground highways

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.
