I‘m thinking of buying this game just for the traffic alone! I could care more about city management, but making traffic flow is satisfying!
ShtPostOffice
Angers me because the right most merge should always be a right turn.

This is the American routine of putting an exit on the off-ramp of another exit.
thirdbb
Can cut out the loops if it was bigger
bloodscribbler
My stoned mind immediately said "that's a heart" before even looking at what it actually was..
Domehammer
Well it's not one of those cancerous circles so small a school bus can't fit on it so take a upvote.
Darthkiba
Why not just an off ramp on ramp roundabout have heaps of them in nz. Thats just to much crazy in that gif

My current in-game project is perfecting interchanges like we have in my city:
Gunthex
Recalculating...
Individualsocksinthewashingmachine
Seems unnecessarily elaborate.
coloradostoneman
no crossing streams of traffic
azzaazza
Needs a roundabout
Swimducky227
Spaghetti Junction in Atlanta, look it up, it's horrible
themojoe2
Seems unnecessarily complicated
HatredandVitriol
City Skylines, a game Sim City 4 is suppose to be, but EA said "lawl why bother doing the work when shit sales just the same, idiots".
radieon
This is elaborate, but the Civil Engineers wouldn't approve
PistolPete2013
As a civil engineer I don’t approve
coloradostoneman
why not? looks pretty awesome to me
Nikolaj
It's... It's beautiful...
GrandProtectorDark
Looks so cool
LooseyGooseyBrett
Give me the nice and easy cloverleaf any day
coloradostoneman
clover leafs suck. they have that area where people that want to take the second exit and people that are coming on need to swap locations
Hillhome
Put it... Put it on the workshop....
captainjuicy
I have a love/hate relationship with the traffic patterns in this game.
kuba913
Me too. I love how it works. I hate cause i cant get it to work.
MikeArclight
what does this achieve that a cloverleaf doesnt?
coloradostoneman
no crossing line of traffic. fewer merges.
drawliphant
The cloverleaf forces a weave... this doesn't. Honestly I just made this for fun.
MooLord
The exits should stay on the right side of the freeway. The far left should be for going straight
drawliphant
That's not how double trumpets work...
MooLord
Then I don’t like double trumpets...
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
The only trumpet I'll upvote
chewybrian
Wasnatch?
OMFGWhatHaveWeDONE
"Trumpet" is a horrible slang term for the Trump collaborators in the US.
chewybrian
Never heard it. Wasnatch had the album cover with the french horn and...uh...

Wot about this one https://youtu.be/WTWyosdkx44

Traffic merging on left and right what could go wrong...
OfficialAntarctica
Everything merges on the right, it's all perspective - when joining a highway isn't it merging on the left to you?
coloradostoneman
i just see joins from the right a regular merges without the loss of a lane.
Supermandrewh
That currently exists in many instances. And if this exists it'd likely be in a highly trafficked area, where drivers are familiar w Lmerges

This is someone trying to cut half the ramps out of a double trumpet interchange, what they actually look like: https://imgur.com/GpUcR9k
drawliphant
All of the same roads are there just shifted. This is a textbook definition of a double trumpet. Why are you so mad at this?
TheMightyMoto
I think this would be a shit show if real. Looks neat though.
TheNameOfThisUserIsRelevant
There's one almost identical to this very near my house, and it seems to work relatively well. (No major slowdowns)
Gantzz321
I think you mean to confusing for AMerica's to figure out, with the current failure of the education systems happening
burntavocadotoast
These are like all over Austin
asa1967
This is roughly the I-4 I-75 interchange in Tampa. Yes, it is a shit show.
ThatOneGuyFromTheThing
That one just gets backed up, but when it flows, it flows well compared to the post. I was at usf and it'd be bumper all the way to the exit
JeffStrangeness
Spaghetti Junction in Atlanta, and yes it is a shit show
thecorrupterx
Anywhere people have to merge, it becomes a shitshow. In Atlanta, people have no clue how to zipper merge, they HAVE to be first!
OuchMouse
TBH it looks like Houston. Interstates and freeways were all built on top of each other haphazardly. I hate this fucking “city”
MrDeadsr
This exist, but more functional. Cause this design is bad
HumansArePrettyNeat
This is similar to the intersection of HWY 2, Gateway Blvd, and HWY 216 in South Edmonton. But a bit different.
omh2
It's this: https://imgur.com/GpUcR9k but for some reason they twisted it, and put opposing traffic on the same ramps
drawliphant
Your double trumpet has opposing traffic on the same ramp. I just made them the same road because I'm too cheep for a barrier.
HaroldLostHisPurpleCrayon
By this design, you REALLY need to know where you're going
definewhatyouare
lnk pls
omh2
It's this: https://imgur.com/GpUcR9k but for some reason they twisted it, and put opposing traffic on the same ramps
NuiNiuhiNui
Keep the oncoming traffic out of the way. Keep in your lane. This should not fail in practice.
Misfire5150
You underestimate the power of stupid
Justiceforbradswife
Well a round about just got removed where I live because it was too complicated
RacecarRoadcar
Looks perfect for autonomous cars.
AzDanger
Too many instances of two way traffic. The interchange will have too many accidents, its not safe, shelf the idea
omh2
Yep this is what an actual double trumpet looks like: https://imgur.com/GpUcR9k they twisted it, and put opposing traffic on the same ramps
Supermandrewh
You can remedy that w some barriers, rumble strips, rpms, etc
Srirachachachachachachachacha
Barrier walls although in decreased fatality crashes, they increase almost every other type
iAppdata
It's not safe, ye, but on Cities Skylines, that matters dick. They can literally clip into each other and recognize complex streets.
Cheomesh
I once had a years-long backup at a train dock in that game.Deleted the dock and it took 20 min IRL for all the piled up traffic to clear.
xcrit
My city has this beautiful interchange. /a/9HXGuYL

This is awesome. I would just keep turning around so I got to go on each one.
drawliphant
https://imgur.com/bVEGMl6 I made it smaller
mearas
Is it Cities skylines?
pdhackley
Looks like a Celtic Knot.
ChuckMcMuck
Looks like a turbine interchange
MeRoyMinoy
My city just keeps adding random lanes every year

Ooooh where

I-295 and JTB in Jacksonville FL
thechainedbear
Now if only 95 had a collosal one

Lmao look at the spaghetti bowl that is 95/395 and 495 in northern Virginia. No one can navigate that shit properly.

As an American, I crashed just looking at this.

As a Brit who's been on that shit, no, fuck you, I won't be scarred again!

I would go 10 miles out of my way to avoid this.
SteppingInsideOutOfMyself
I went through that on my second day driving on the left. It wasn’t pretty.

I went round this when it snowed over last year... Screaming all the way.

SHININTURDZ
What in the blue hell
fireydragondreams
It actually works pretty well for keeping traffic moving and it's fairly easy once you get past the crap crap crap what the hell phase
MasterDode
It's the magic roundabout. There's no proper way to navigate it, just go round until you get to your exit
lizthestarfish
My dad would love this. He's a traffic engineer and loves roundabouts.
BenSnow97
It's called Great Britain
ArgonSpark
'Tis a silly place.
AntRam95
What’s so great about it
BenSnow97
It was great once and the name stuck on it
killerdecoy7
I wouldn't even know how to use that or get where I wanted to go. That is a damn nightmare!
RedDwarfIV
If you're unsure how to go through the middle, you can take the longer route around the outside until you reach your exit.
RedDwarfIV
If you can navigate a normal roundabout, you can navigate this one. Give way to the right.
killerdecoy7
Never driven on one. These things don't exist in my area in the midwest
RedDwarfIV
Ah. I live in Britain. They're pretty simple. Give way to traffic already on the roundabout, when you're on it just turn off at your exit.

Workable. It needs barriers where there is two way traffic to avoid accidents. Also, the loops need to be enlarged to avoid slow downs.
LooseyGooseyBrett
Give me the nice and easy cloverleaf any day
my1rstlaptopwas34inchscreenup
people forget water on the stove and you think this workable?
ABeanr
I live in Dallas and the set up here is as confusing as any, yet, people manage. Clear labeling and instructions can minimize confusion.
Groose
Montreal born and raised right here,all that road construction and the fact that people can get to and from the island shows anything works
AMartianPotato
Speeds on those stretches would be below 80km/h. Perfectly reasonable to not have a dividing barrier.
HairytheSheep
Its part of the interstate standards to have a barrier or certain width of median, there may be exceptions but it would be out of necessity
drawliphant
This is true, but this is a game and im a cheepskate
oPhoenixo
I think these are what we have in atl near the new stadium. I'm normally pretty accepting but they make me nervous as hell
GreaterDog
Only place I see 2-way on a sharp loop is a mountain highway where you're forced to. Idk why you would ever do it by choice
Sm9yCg
It's a guaranteed head-on colission accident hotspot.
huthvir
Also the merge-points would be a slowdown of their own. people in my area always manage to screw up even simple entrance ramps
Sm9yCg
Yeah, even if there are three huge signs "you can switch lanes over the next 500m", they stop and wait to do that at the merge
drawliphant
There are no merges on this interchange. Except to get on it. Just pick your lane and never change lanes
huthvir
going from bottom right, to top right ... ahhh, i see what i thought was a lane divider was an arrow
Sm9yCg
No. People are idiots. They will try to merge at the point of lane merge (instead of using the entire length), blocking traffic.
drawliphant
There are no merges on this interchange
HaroldLostHisPurpleCrayon
Coming back to this, I think I misunderstood your comment. Mine is opposite, but still about people not using the whole length to merge
HaroldLostHisPurpleCrayon
That is one of my biggest pet peeves! My local freeway has a certain junction that has a mile long on ramp, yet everyone thinks they need 1)
HaroldLostHisPurpleCrayon
To merge instantly, causing the other lane to slow down too much. I always merge into the on ramp lane and pass a ton of cars
Sm9yCg
And they will flip you if you pass them by legally merging further ahead.
HaroldLostHisPurpleCrayon
I just look forward so I've probably gotten the finger from many a driver lol don't look, don't care!
