Which is THE BEST highway interchange layout? Cities Skylines!

This time we're back in Engitopia in Cities Skylines (City Skyline) challenges whilst we wait for Cities Skylines 2 (CS2). As a professional highway engineer with over 10 years experience, I want to test out a range of realistic highway interchange layouts and see which is the best!

5:35 - You CAN actually angle those nodes using "Node Controller", select the node, then Node Controller, and it gives you several options, including "Slope". 🙂

I actually love when you use real engineering in these games and how you explain it, it's really interesting.

Only this man can keep me entertained with highway intersections

Only this man's community can keep bringing me back to this YEAR OLD COMMENT MY GOD

[Thoran]

Back to classic RCE highway engineering. With the exception of bridge building my favorite videos of the channel since they are entertaining and help understanding the real world a bit better.

3 years ago I remember you saying “ let’s make this realistic as possible.” And now 3 years later we have this crazy engineering land.

@5:35 - Node Controller will do this. You can change the node from flat to sloped.

[NiyaKouya]

9:30 you can almost instantly delete those messy junctions since you already have Move it 😉 Set it to only select nodes, draw your selection square over the junction, and then use the deletion tool from Move it. Poof, gone is the mess.
The angle restrictions for roads can also be "fixed" with mods, including the anarchy ones and precision engineering ^^

Dude. This video is brilliant! There's a lot of magic going on in that basement of yours.

You always know that it’s a great day when RCE post city skylines!

[TheProphetOfNoGod]

one advantage of the Clover over the stack, is that on the clover you can turn around, on the stacks you can't.

[PotatoHopback]

My man, the lore for this map spans years at this point. Glad to see it. New viewers can only fathom what the rest of us had to mill through to get his serious civil engineer’s take on Engitopia…

[popodood]

I cant believe you can do all of this so smoothly while teaching us while it is all reversed from what you are used to working with in the uk. Awesome job.

[karelpgbr]

In the Netherlands we have a common interchange (for urban areas and low speed), it's called a "turbo rotonde", where two lanes arrive at the roundabout, the right lane has a direct turn over the roundabout to the right, the left lane goes into a divided lane on the roundabout and can go straight, left or back.
Look it up, the photos will clear it up!

[speedingoffence]

You can deal with both the 42 degree problem and the 'lump' problem with MoveIt.
For the former, just pull in the angle after placing it.
For the latter, just tweak the angle until it 'snaps' together, making a seamless transition.

Today RCE has finally watched Biffa's episodes of road building, and learnt lane mathematics!! Give a cuppa tea. 😜

"we don't want many curves, and short bridges"

And then there's the highway in Fukuoka, Japan, that is two bridges often stacked on top of each other going over the entire city, bending like crazy

[sigispider]

As an American truck driver, I have opinions that I feel matter. The clover leaf is a standard and a classic.
I really like the stacked one as long as there's good signage and lane indicators.
The diamond ones seem to work really well, but Americans aren't used to them. They've popped up in the last few years and people seem a little confused in them.
As far as round abouts go, I have two middle fingers for anyone who thinks they're a good idea.
As far as the turbine goes, I'd be game to try it.

I have been sick at home with a throat infection. I can't sleep, eat, talk, barely drink, go outside... This keeps me up! I love your content man!

[marcor]

If you want traffic to be able to turn around for what ever reason, you could replace the four left turn ramps with one roundabout, where the on ramps are inside and the offramps on the outside, with adding/subtracting a lane at each ramp.
If the traffic stays in lane it‘s like the turbine, but it would allow other movement via the spiral by switching lane

[hello_its_em]

Not the magic roundabout that's a nightmare! We've been in UK (plus in my country we drive on the right side) and we have been literally stucked here for like ten minutes, we even went the wrong direction one time and we couldn't find our way out. IT WAS HORRIBLE.
