Show us your...Intersections

[legoman786]

I like this remake better. More clean and easier to follow. As for the top interchange, I would do a parclo with the ramps above the ave bridge. That would give the drivers more time to merge over. Don't forget the TuLEP's!

Parclo, definitely.

Also, props for just the entire craziness of this interchange!

Thanks!

2 large tiles away (~6 mi or so) the HOV lane comes to an end at a lake, merging with a north/south RHW4. Train continues around the lake to leave the region.

Here's one I whipped up in about 20 minutes.

Something new from me:
It's an airport connection to parkingspaces and terminals. Still a work in progress


Klick to enlarge! (Warning... 1920x1080!)

Edit @TheOneNextUnderMyPost: This is only the regional jet terminal... if you have a look at the airport picture thread you'll see, that not everything is tight

[cubby420]

Great stuff [Delta ²k5]! A very unique but realistic set up and the tower adds a lot of character to the airport. Your planes might have a hard time navigating the terminals though...a very tight fit.

Barsoomian Intersection

2nd post? A simple interchange.

1. The lower half could be improved if i`d use a avenue-crossing.

2. The FLUP piece for RHW-8 didn't work, so I had to use RHW-6, where RHW-8 had made sense.

I'm new to RHW, so just wanted to show my first piece.

[RussianSim]

here are a couple of mine. inspired by the example of Moscow where the principle of keeping the number of traffic lights to a minimum is practiced. as they slow down the traffic...



here even a railway is wedged between the overpasses:



all major avenues have to be accompanied by relief roads:



another intersection. poorly engineered if you imagine you're a driver, but looks smart: 



a busy one:



avenues are shoved underground where they are meant to cross other roads at the ground level. Instead nice green spaces right in the city center are formed:



one of the busiest intersections. The avenue goes from top-right to bottom-left going under a ring road. Ring roads are also favored here.

Nice networks and intersections. I like the compactness and creativity.

[Haljackey]

Very cool, I like the use of the smooth curves.

A couple ones from me:

Busy diamond connecting a RHW expressway to an elevated highway.


Bus-only road.

May i ask where you got that Bus only thing from?

I can recognise those HOV lots from anywhere...

Yep, those are them.


New video from me. Take a drive down one of my city's main streets, showcasing a variety of different intersection designs. Afterward, the video continues as a road tour of the city until my car blows up.

Nice video, Haljackey! Not too long, but full of SC4 goodness.
I also spotted my mod in there.

[Patricius Maximus]

Awesome video, Haljackey. It's always nice to see you're still at work and to see your new creations, which are as always quite fascinating.

I just read this post in the "RHW Interchange Guide".

Has anyone tried to do this?

And thinking about my 'collection', this was the first interchange which came into my mind:

However, this is basically a roundabout interchange as you can go in circles if you want, so it falls out of the race. Furthermore, I should have built it mirrored, because this way round there are left joins, which I normally tend to avoid. Left exits I don't mind as they are less of a safety issure than joins. (At least, it's a diag x diag version.)

Then I found this one:

It's the same setup as in the movie but unfortuately lacks the circle look of the original . On the other side though, this is keeping the footprint relatively narrow.


Also great work of you all! I like that there are again some new intersections with Avenues and OWR to be found. 

[GDO29Anagram]

@McDuell: Your second interchange pretty much fits the bill of being a Pinavia Interchange, except for two things: It's square, like you said, and it's too small, so it can't be full-speed.

Excellent work, though.

EDIT: Even better: <a href="http://pinavia.com/comparison-with-analogous-junctions.phtml">I found an article about the Pinavia vs Other Interchanges.</a>

Key advantages of a Pinavia over a Cloverleaf:
- Higher capacity and higher speed
- No conflict points, or weaving for that matter
- The "captured" land can be used

Key advantages over a 4-Level Stack:
- Cheaper to build
- Doesn't blight the skyline (The Pinavia is strictly 2-level)
- The "captured" land can be used

Disadvantages:
- It's roughly the same size as a Cloverleaf (But the land within can still be used)
- It's slightly larger than a 4-Level Stack (But the land within can still be used)
- It costs more to build than a Cloverleaf

[McDuell]

Thank you Ganaram.

I couldn't leave this interchange type alone, so I built a Cityscape version of the Pinavia. I'm not fully satisfied with the ramp curves, but at the moment I don't care about it. So here we go:
   

Have fun!

Hmm, fascinating concept (and nice work McDuell  ). The five-way version on that website is particularly interesting. My only real problem with it is this though: they keep talking about the advantage of the space in the middle of the interchange being available--but who wants to locate in the middle of an interchange? Motorways have a pretty long history of destroying the desirability of the areas in their immediate proximity and I'm skeptical that the very center of a large junction would be an exception to that. I guess it could be useful for a parking area or maybe a mass transit stop.
