Building the “Obnoxious” Interchange

[@Rianmt795]

Its the worst thing about a roundabout and a cloverleaf, whoever came up with that design was a genius

[@piccana_]

It's perfect 👌😂

[@dnfriedman]

I’ve driven through this intersection, and it is worse than you describe.

[@piccana_]

It looks terrible. That weaving section is so short 🙈

[@ThatNerdDott]

ever heard of a partially unrolled cloverleaf? i'd love to see how traffic does on one in this game.

[@piccana_]

I've seen them but not aware of it's name. I think that could potentially work well for a tutorial. Added to my notes 👍

[@zionosphere]

It's a great build. The real one is a little more narrow, not even 100m, if I got your measurements right. I give them high points for creativity, especially since there is a railroad track on one side.

[@piccana_]

In fairness, they didn't bulldoze a whole neighborhood to make a massive concrete structure, so fair play to them for that 👍

[@inyobill]

Nice one, mate. I wish we could restrict traffic to paths. irritating when traffic exits main through lanes, just to reenter through traffic.

[@piccana_]

Might be able to with traffic mod? But I dunno, I don't really use that mod tbh.👍

[@inyobill]

@@piccana_ Observed before mods, I'm having bigger problems at the moment, searching forum like crazy person to try to find solution.

I've driven through on my way to the FDR presidential library and found it very confusing. If you really want to see highway interchange hell, look no further than north east New Jersey. There's just so many highways that intersect. New Jersey is the most densly populated state afterall! Anything on 95 (NJ Turnpike) is a living hell. You've got cities, gigantic malls, NFL stadiums, multiple NYC river crossings, an international airport all using this highway. Garden state parkway and route 17 are also bad. Route 17 is horrible because its a full speed 6 lane highway with miles of shopping centers and 2 huge malls directly turning onto the highway. NJ traffic and roads are famous afterall.

[@piccana_]

Highway hell! That's sounds like perfect inspo material! Haha, I'll check it out

[@Speedster___]

0:34 it would bulk it up a tad but if the east west road ramp to join the north south road was split to have west bound traffic go south enter on the outside southbound lane but then have a ramp that meets at the U (in inside lane) to have it go north bound would solve all traffic weave problem. It would increase the bridging increase space taken by a bit and would make UTurns beyond awful but it would more or less eliminate weaving especially if you use Traffic and to allow cars to only change one lane at a time

[@piccana_]

I've read this several times but I can't Invision in in my head. I need a drawing 😂

[@Speedster___]

@@piccana_you have a discord? I can mock it up if you want. I’m sorry I’m shit at explaining

[@piccana_]

Haha, yeah, link is in the main channel page. Don't worry, I'm probably just shit at understanding 😂

[@theorixlux]

I've never scene this interchange b4... I'm beginning to understand why new yorkers can have a bad reputation on the road if they have to deal with this!

[@piccana_]

Yeah, it could be a rage builder haha

[@tigonologdring9189]

Looks bleedin' lethal! Mounthooly eat yer heart out! Cracking detailing about the Death Loop though. Hats off for that. Sunken palm trees in there?

[@piccana_]

Cheers bud, sunken palms and oaks ftw

[@mauriceskyliners9873]

Awesome video! You're very talented!

[@piccana_]

Cheers Maurice 😎👍

[@PartTimeMAYOR]

I really wanted to be a Swampert while watching the intro...

[@piccana_]

Ha! I had to Google Swampert. Showing my age 😂

[@PartTimeMAYOR]

@@piccana_ And now mine too, thank you! 😂

[@piccana_]

😂😂

[@pcsproshop8972]

Love it, thanks for sharing :)

[@piccana_]

Thanks for watching! 😊👍

[@Adargi]

I get they probably were confined for space, but there are so many other better options they could've picked that would take less space up

[@piccana_]

There's a few suggested concepts here if you're interested in having a look www.dutchessny.gov/Departments/Transportation-Council/Docs/94455_Executive_Summary.pdf

[@zionosphere]

@@piccana_ These suggestions seem very interesting. They should use something like (or just) this game at the public presentations for the alternatives. Visuals and animations go a long way.

[@piccana_]

Yeah, they look good. I'm pretty surprised they managed to fit these designs with the small space. It's impressive. I partially built the first one, performed really badly though, the small roundabout killed it. I reckon it would work better IRL

[@AaronLacasse-z2f]

​@@piccana_ the second one looks interesting but it might also be problematic in-game because the roundabouts.. and in real life for.. different reasons 😂

[@alexhentschel1080]

lol devs need to work on pathfinding.. alot of the traffic that should be continuing straight on over the bridge, is taking the ramp and looping back on.

[@piccana_]

Good spot! 😂🙈

[@CryingAutumn]

Beaver geography mentioned

[@piccana_]

😊👍

[@josephp9141]

Had to click when I saw that thumbnail.

[@piccana_]

🙌

[@L33Vi3W]

This is a bad design. The entry and exit are very dangerous...

[@piccana_]

Yep, terrible
