Has any of these ever been built since you created this asset? I'm curious about the concept.

Some of the ramps are the wrong direction. That's a deal breaker since it will cause traffic jams. Trying to fix it by removing ramps and building new one's is rather difficult unless you get good with overriding vanilla game road building behavior's.

good

"Real-world example is I-196 and US-131 in Grand Rapids, Michigan!"
That's awesome!! I was born in grand rapids!
That dang S curve at rush hour..Phwew..

Real-world example is I-196 and US-131 in Grand Rapids, Michigan!

Is it possible to switch the elevated parts? So that the highway is elevated and otherwise?

I suggest to also create a version using Network Extensions 2 and have all road segments the proper amount of lanes, so 3 lanes divert to 1-2 and later a 2 lane segment merges to a 3 lane again etc...

Me personally, I always edit the intersections on new games before I even begin to build ...

Cool idea... unfortunately it backed up traffic. I went from a standard clover that ran traffic smooth for several hours to this design and highway traffic coming into the world got backed up due to the curves in the highway.

why does it end half elevated for two directions?

asd

That'd be awesome and greatly appreciated, but I wouldn't hold you to it at all. Thanks either way :)

@Qfwfq: Retro-fitting it with 2-lane one ways (i.e. using the upgrade tool) might screw up some connections, making the ramps sometimes glitch out. I think the safest way would be to delete the highways completely, and then fill out the gaps with two-lane one ways. I could upload such a version for you, if you'd like :)

Can the overpass of this interchange be downgraded to a 2-lane one way without disrupting the geometry? I'm trying to exclude highways from my city center but I really like the idea of using this to interchange my one way arterials with the outside connection highway. Thanks!

@metalmartyr: It's probably a passion for all of those things ;)

@saintdenis: I'm sure they're not that bad. Trust me, when I began making interchanges with the Real Highway Mod in Simcity 4, they looked horrendous and just made things worse for the city. Thanks for your feedback! :D

@lich: Really? In that case you ow me $10 for your download... Nah, just kidding! :D Thank you for your comment!

There is nothing more relaxing than watching the traffic flow through a nicely designed interchange. Good work on all your uploads. Definetly better than the abominations I create in my games.

You obviously have a passion for either roads or interchanges or shapes or efficiency or bridges. Whatever it is, these are amazing and your descriptions make me happy. These are the first thing I'm d/ling when I figure out how to stop making grid cities that fail miserably.

dude your intersections are awesome. 10/10 would buy if it was DLC

Thanks
