Show us your...Intersections

[eggman121]

Unless I'm missing something, I don't see how it's possible to make a stack interchange any more compact than this catastrophe, since FLEXFly can't be placed over itself. Looks like it's this mess, a cloverleaf, or nothing.

With a bit of drawing it is possible to make a more compact interchange.

I whipped this up in a few minuets



Eventually with the inventory of pieces the NAM team has to play with Flex Interchanges will come to the fore.

They will essentially be interchanges that look like puzzle pieces but are in fact flex pieces joined together. They will have some capability to be upgraded without demolishing the whole thing. Of course there is no timeline for inclusion however.

Edit: Nice work Seaman 

Bet me too it

I think Tarkus just enhanced some RHW stability to get a nice compact stack, but can't find his post, yet.

It's right here, back on Page 211.  The code I wrote to make that one possible was added in NAM 35.  The trick was having the two mainlines at L0 and L3, with the connecting ramps at L1 and L2.  Here's a little reminder of what it looked like (more details in the original post.

Minor stability fix, major interchange build:

As always. The intersections is not beautiful, but original.

@Alan_Waters: I really like that! Is that a 10x1 lot? Or are those multiple lots that made the retaining walls?
Attatched is a highway scene from my city. The top and the far right are FLUP tunnel networks

It looks like marrast's m-tel: http://sc4devotion.com/csxlex/lex_filedesc.php?lotGET=1178
They are long single lots.

BTW, nice setup there, Josh6

Excellent!
Where can I find such a bridge, as in the first photo?

As always, I'm looking for interesting solutions for intersections. This time I tried to combine RHW and Project Symphony:



Need a lot of lifting on L2 with a smooth turn or rising diagonally. It would have been more natural.

[Seaman]

nice one

Turbine Interchange

[kelis]

What an Intersection !! It looks very realistic, congratulations for that one 

[Alan_Waters]

Very cool!

[dyoungyn]

I agree the Turbine Interchange is sweet. 

Only complaint is the L0 to L1 RHW6 elevation transitions; I personally do not like them.  I tend to extend out for the elevation differences.

[bladeberkman]

Here's a frontage diamond. Texan, here. 

[metarvo]

Texans, represent!  When it comes to frontage roads, I always approve! 

That turbine is looking really slick, too. 

[Tarkus]

Was helping out a user on /r/simcity4 with building a T-interchange with the RHW, and decided to record my building it in real time--no speeding up or anything.  This is actually the second attempt (the first one took an additional four minutes).

Here's an image of the end product.

Alex,

Wow, you really opened my eyes to new possibilities.  I was wondering why you didn't use a flex curve as now I see why.  Wonder demonstration and thank you.

[Alan_Waters]

Alex, it's slim, stylish, compact and beautiful!
Bravo! 
I would be very happy if there was such a ready-made intersection in the RHW.
