Omschrijving
I heard you liked bridges, so I made this. It's a full diamond interchange, one of my personal favorites when it comes to design.The ramps are straight, long and fully directional, making this an excellent choice in-game. It occupies almost as much space as a stack, but it's far from as tall as one. These interchanges are rare in real life, but maybe not as obscure as gothic, windmill, DCMI and volleyball interchanges. The reason why they aren't as popular in real life is of course the directional ramps; while they've prooven useful in-game, they often result in clogging up traffic before the interchange, since the majority of vehicles stay in the outer lane, and has to cut across multiple overtaking lanes to reach the ramp.

=======================================================================

Advantages:
+ Fully directional
+ No weaving
+ Long ramps provide more space for queues
+ It's suprisingly easy to plop down in rough terrain

Disadvantages:
- It's huge
- The wide median makes it harder to fit it into an existing network

=======================================================================

Cost: 46 360
Upkeep: 526 / week

In-game description:
The full diamond; beautiful like a diamond, solid like a diamond, and made from coal... like a diamond!

I absolutely love, where present, the descriptions of these (sometimes) fantastic intersections. You're take the first few pages of intersections when sorted by all-time popularity, and it's deserved. These are saving me a butt load of effort doing something that you did better.

Shameless Plug: If you want one without the disadvantages, here's one with normal highway spacing and about the size of the built-in cloverleaf, while still having long ramps, great symmetry, and smooth slopes: https://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2004965929

@pacifist & @Timboh : I live in the OKC area and one of these full diamonds exist: !40 & !44 interchange on the west side of the city. They are traffic collision central, but for their purposes, they do alright. I also get into the middle lane. As Oklahoma passed a law that allows Highway Patrol and city cops to ticket a person staying in the far left lanes (citing that emergency vehicles need these lanes free to get to accidents), this is much more common and as a result, traffic accidents are on the down swing for this interchange. :) There are a number of left lane exits/entrances in my city on the highway system, so we are a bit more aware of them.

@pacifist: Late reply, but I believe you were trying to reply to me? If so, then here's my reasoning:

Personally, while driving down a highway in the U.S. with 3 or more lanes, I prefer to treat the middle lane(s) as the fast lane(s) instead of the leftmost lane, merely because I had presumed that entrances and exits from the left lane (in addition to the right lane) would exist, and because of that, I'd want to stay in the middle lane, so that I could give merging vehicles from either side of the highway some extra breathing room to merge into the highway. I never knew that there was such widespread assumptions among so many other drivers that the left lane is always considered the fast lane, regardless of how wide the road is. (Of course, on 2-lane highways in the U.S., I'd typically treat the left lane as the fast lane, since I'd anticipate left-lane exits to be rare and impractical on such narrow highways.)

In case you're curious:

The Zoo interchange. (This one is being replaced with a stack):
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0268666,-88.0353103,1210m/data=!3m1!1e3

Stadium Interchange:
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.0324904,-87.9708342,1029m/data=!3m1!1e3

The stadium interchange doesn't even need to be free-flowing for the north-south road as it has traffic lights in both directions... It should probably be replaced with a parclo A4, SPUI, or diverging diamond. The fact that it's a "full diamond" makes no sense.

Badger Interchange:
https://www.google.com/maps/@43.1025898,-89.2867859,2548m/data=!3m1!1e3

This one is going to become a problem as traffic goes up.. People from out of state slow down when entering from the left.

These are the main offenders I'm aware of.

@pacifist: No need to say sorry. It was me who didn't realize you were responding to the comment below, so the confusion was kind of my fault. Anyway, it's good to hear the US is working on removing these abominations, which ruin an otherwise impressive expressway system. Though, it's a pity they're doing it at such a slow rate. I suppose there simply ain't enough funding to rebuild so many interchanges. Anyway, I hope that interchange of yours gets sorted out once reconstruction has finished. Cheers! :D

@Timboh: Sorry for the confusion. I didn't intend to insult your work. I was referring to the comment made below mine who said he was a big fan of this type of interchange. I go through one of these every day and it's generally referred to as "the war zone" by the locals. In 2017, the DOT should be finished retrofitting it into a 4-level stack. We're spending 1B dollars on it's construction and there's a lot of opposition (many people here just want to keep the left exits and simply add through lanes, but that's too dangerous!

I frequently see idiots getting into the entrance lane to pass... and a pile of debris where the entrance lane merges with the through lanes.

@pacifist: Did I say that? I did mention that I liked the aestetics of full diamonds, and that they fuction quite well in-game since there is no safety aspect to consider in-game, but in real life... Yeah, it's not really some sort of revelation that inner exits are horrible in every aspect. They're really rare here in Sweden, but I've heard my fair share of horror stories about American and Belgian ones to understand how they can ruin capacity, and most importantly, ruin traffic safety.
