Third one is definitely my favorite. It's a perfect balance of realism and good game traffic management. I find too realistic leads to bad traffic, and too meta/unrealistic leads to my unhappiness.
I just replaced my ugly pre-made round about with option A and it's handling heavy traffic in and out of my town so much more efficiently! It looks even better with tropical foliage by MrMaison.
This has been such a game changer. I had no idea how to even tackle that highway thing and it was demoralizing. Subscribed. Will watch everything you've done. Thank you!
not gonna lie, thought that first one was gonna plug up real bad in my city, but it worked out real well. I did end up doing some lane management with traffic manager just to make it a touch more efficient, but it does pretty good. Thank's for the design man.
I know this has been around for a few months but it's still relevant. This are really nice! Totally different than anything else I've seen. I love them. Thank you!
Fortunately, for us PC players, we can just grab someone else's hard work off the workshop and drop them in, LOL, but for all vanilla & console players, this is great!
I know this video is old but thanks so much for this. The way you explained things made it easy to replicate in my own City! I made the 45degree diamond interchange, and the asymmetrical overpass one that you said would be good for industrial service! The both fit so well and I got a confidence boost from building the interchanges manually as opposed to plopping down big clunky pre-made ones that done fit well into my city! Much thanks!

10:15 with this one, would there be any traffic concerns with putting the ramps for the west-bound hwy on the same side, mirroring that of the east-bound hwy?
Get this man to 100k subs! I’ve been subbed for years and I can’t believe you haven’t hit 100k yet! But then again I’m not sure if 100k people have even played skylines lol. But good video mate, always a banger!
I found your channel just yesterday and I'm already in love with how you build and design cities. I haven't played the game for a long time, plus I'm a console player so I don't have mods to make some things easier like the traffic flow. Definitely gonna try some of this when I start a new city. 🙂
Ah thank you! Glad you're enjoying the videos. If you want Vanilla inspiration, my two cities Palaven & Noveria are both vanilla, Noveria is snow. They are much loved and very nice vanilla builds. Thank you for watching :)
With a little Lane Mathematics and few lane connectors from TM that first one could handle a bit of traffic. Roundabout interchanges work until they get silly busy then they are worthless. Which is your second one. The last is another one as long as it doesn't get busy it was work great and look oddly cool. But the first one with just a touch of work could be a beast.
How do I do this at the very start of the game? Is it affordable in view of keeping initial road building to a minimum in order to get the city started? This example seems to be done in a city with a population of 10,000 or so.
My advice is to push the landmarks and get a shitton of money first. You can temporarily set the taxes to their highest and easily make a lot of money and turn them back to 12% to keep people happy. There's a lot that you'll end up having to change, especially given how much traffic you'll get once you setup a cargo system like with train or ships.
The 3rd one is my favorite...small, compact and it looks nice. I don't like the 20-way intersections. As I only play the Vanilla version (Switch), this is quite helpful.
The first one with the tunnels is begging to be made into a SPUI, a single point urban interchange wherein those left turns are curved inwards to a single intersection. Wonder if it’d work in vanilla?
I just made a vanilla SPUI in my first city and it works pretty well even with industrial traffic going through it. Seems to work a bit better than a A2 parclo even though its not a fair comparison because I have a lot of private vehicles and truck traffic going through that one. I'm sure mods would make both better though.
Awesome Marina brings life to the down town also It would be amazing you build an Olympic city in Thessia with aquatic Centre, Basketball arena and high capacity real football Stadium
I am just a beginnner with cities skylines 1. But this video is very good. It takes some time for the decoration but you made a flew nice examples. I have a small city (44.000 people with $ 3,5 million) but at the start I have made the roads from the highway direct to one road for entering the city. But how I have a “red point” wich made problems for the traffic at the highway. I shall start a new city and shall keep enough space for the future.
It has been two months so I’m sure you already have your answer, but I figured I’d answer here for anyone watching and reading later. (especially those like me playing on console with no mod options) The Park Life DLC comes with four fence designs (one from each park type). The Industries DLC comes with four more. (one from each industry type). Finally, the Airport DLC comes with one airport fence which isn’t ideal for other aesthetic uses because of signage detail on the fence, but will work if you own no other fence options. Especially in cases where you are not using fencing for detailing aesthetics, but to deconflict overlapping zoning by “canceling” the zoning from the offending street by lining it with fencing.
@@Jasonofindy yeah thank you very much, I knew the zoning trick that's why I wanted to get the fences I used paths before that, now with the sale on the playstation store I got the season pass 2 on a big discount so I have the park-life and industry dlc Still have to get into how the dlc main stuff works efficiently but I have the fences now! Also with the last free update we got the city fences.
Very nice and easy designs. Thanks for sharing. One question: Can you make a ranking about which asset or zone creates the most traffic? I think that should be very interesting, because then you can judge where to place what.
Industry DLC Industry and Industry make the most by far but can be largely dealt with by use of cargo trains. High density Commercial attracts shoppers, public transport is your best friend. Regular commercial doesn’t attract too many shoppers. Offices only have people coming/going to their jobs. The most traffic generating assets will be your stadiums and public transport that accepts tourists from outside the city.
Not sure the maths make sense. Before the interchange was added I assume there was 3 lanes of traffic on the highway. After the interchange is added the highway traffic is forced to merge down to 2 lanes for no good reason and then merge back into traffic joining the highway instead of the other way round. Also this turns one lane of the highway into a turning lane.
Hi, can you tell me the mod for producing Ore, Oil, farm land, and forest, its a round icon, also the mod that extends your menu show heaps of roads etc. Cheers Ramon.
Such good options for interchanges. I always struggle building these. I definitely will be using them in my builds! Thank you for the video! Edit: Love the music in this video

In the First one, downgrade the middle sections between the slip lanes And the left turn intersection to 4lane road for better lane mathematic
The last one blew my mind absolutely

Nice ones, I think the 3rd one is my fav, mostly because you have that space to put in the road maintenance building
Oh get you building interchanges like the pro you are :D That last one is very compact yet visually appealing.
I'm ok with service interchanges lol. Highway interchanges my mind melts :') Thanks bro!
This was everything I've been looking for and so easy to follow!

Great video!!!! Definitely an helpful guide to reduce traffic congestion and make interchange look aesthetically pleasing within the city.
i really dig #2 for how clean it looks. You want the roundabout to work and the AI probably will respect this well enough
I really liked the last one. I saved this video to my CS content on YT. Thank you And I’m a new sub!!! 🎉
Thanks for the sub! Lots of content to enjoy :)
I always come back to this video when I need some inspiration 🤙🤙
Great information with exact measurements to create🎉
Lovely, I'll definitely use these. Would love the option in vanilla to actual build ponds or lakes without the need of water acces/drainage.
Highway interchanges from OE, who just loves to do one-side sliproads to highways... :) I love it. :)

You can, won't lose too much efficiency with it

Look interchanges is like magic tricks, you ever want more and more
Sound-barrier hwy roads also are a good fencing alternative, tho with obviously limitations.
Awesome Marina brings life to the down town also It would be amazing you build an Olympic city in Thessia with aquatic Centre, Basketball arena and high capacity real football Stadium
Love the video, btw, how to I make roads go under ground?
Page up and down or d pad on controller 😌
Also, the traffic Lights should be on the other junctions in the First exit
8:57 never works for me. Always gives me a “space occupied” or “distance too short” message
very nice!! Love it, 2C approves, lol
High praise indeed! Thank you brother

Very nice interchanges! But you forgot about the lane mathematics at the 2nd one.
Can't do lane mathematics in vanilla
I wish road infrastructure would cost more to build and maintain so that we could have a challenge of using roads wisely.
Hard mode increases upkeep costs I think?
@@OVERCHARGEDEGG oh really??? I didnt know that, thx man

NECKLESS has pretty much nailed it. Any Industrial assets from the DLC or zoning from the base game produces the most by a long way :)

What is the name of the software you are using? I would like to give it a shot and recreate.
I don't get how can you turn left from the two way to the highway in the 3rd design

is it good to a build a highway through the middle of the city?
Nice work
which one is best for industrial areas? i find that the first one gets overwhelmed by industrial traffic
Number two would be best for heavy traffic districts
The way he just goes mmkay reminds me of the principal in South Park 😂
Hi mate, need help!
I used the first interchange m, however my AI are not using the tunnel,
Any advice?? On xbox
Please add chapter markers. Thanks for your videos!
It’s taken me an hour to get the highway parallel with just enough grass in between it to do 15:42
Love that. Subbed
Do you upload these interchanges to steam?
awesome thank you!!!
And as always great builds
Do you happen to upload your awesome builds on the workshop ?

Last one looks great. So you think 5m is enough clearance for road and rail bridges in the game?
I have been following this video to the detail replacing my clogged-up highway exits, but after trying design 1 and 2 the result only made it worse.
