    Lets do this California Style:
    1. Stack Interchange cxl_screenshot_sonoma_0.jpg
    2. Flyovers cxl_screenshot_sonoma_1.jpg
    3. Still in Construction. These cast-in place continuous flyovers are sleek and pleasing to the eye cxl_screenshot_sonoma_2.jpg
    4. This interchange, was inspired by the 405 10 interchange in SoCal cxl_screenshot_sonoma_3.jpg
    cxl_screenshot_sonoma_4.jpg
    4. Downtown Connector overview cxl_screenshot_sonoma_5.jpg
    6. Downtown Connector, with braided ramps cxl_screenshot_sonoma_6.jpg
    7. Closeup view of the braided ramp cxl_screenshot_sonoma_7.jpg
    8. 3 way Interchange cxl_screenshot_sonoma_9.jpg
    9. Freeway incorporating HOV lanes with HOV only ramps

    @kc88k , you could try to use the Absolutely Flat Plaza by RealCity.
    This will probably help you to get rid of the terraformed terrain...
    But pay attention, the plaza can sometimes lower the ground more than necessary,
    so try to restrict the area in which you place it to a minimum...

    And don't forget to like this ;)

    The interchanges themselves look really good!
    I like that you meanwhile tried really hard to avoid pylons on roads below :)

    Thanks for liking my interchanges.
    Simply put, I went inside the code for bridges and changed the 1 to 0 wherever they wanted to add in a column. Then I just put in the custom columns and I please
    1. You can use this for road bridges too, it looks much more realistic than the original columns and is more asthetically pleasing. cxl_screenshot_sonoma_11.jpg
    2. First you lay the bridge with the column removed through a simple code change cxl_screenshot_sonoma_12.jpg
    3. Then you add in the column. I think the column came from a freeway addon package, which also contain fences, pedistrian bridges and barriers. You can change the height of the column to match. It is not perfect, since the column contains the rather obstructive cross beam. cxl_screenshot_sonoma_13.jpg

    @lastdayofearth : Im not sure where, that was a long time ago. I looked at this bridge mod tutorial for background.

    Here is my 4 level turbine stack interchange, incorporating the collector distributor freeway on the top level. The freeway from bottom to top is unfinished and will likely end at downtown

    Those highways are soooo wide, sometimes
    I start believing that people don't intend to use public transportation
    systems at all :p
    Well, to be honest, Western US yet have to show some political
    intentions to implement such public transportation networks.
    Maybe one should invest into further researching to finally
    prove what scientists have presumed since a long time:
    That car traffic is at least a minor cause for health problems
    of a large minority of people all around the world, but also especially
    in the US. Do not get me wrong, it is really hard to prove this.

    And don't get me wrong, I still like to see
    Your terrific interchanges :)

    This is an interchange I made for one of my unfinished cities. I have not had time to decorate or anything, but felt like sharing :)

    @kc88k and welcome to Losanfrandiego, home of wide freeways and interchanges we get lost in. Gotta love California Republic. :)
    That must have taken such a long time. Hopefully this would become a CJ. Nice job man.

    cxl_screenshot_tlz_2u7s6n.jpg

    yes, no pillars on streets or rail, also enough room for big trucks and no steep ramps :)

    You know that railways should generally not run such extremely short curves?
    The interchanges themselves look very good!

    The interchange looks really smooth, but I have to agree that the railway curve is a bit too harsh. I wouldn't want to take that train :p
    Btw, the bridge of yours in the last picture is very low, do you have any patch to eliminate the min height?
