Or the traffic needs x number of lanes to flow properly and only x-1 lane width space is available at some point, but there is room to peel off one lane and send it in another direction before meeting back up after the restriction.
I don t think it s really magic since it take a lot space and force users to turn many times so wasting time that s the reason why people build these huge and expensive projects

I think what he means is maybe try to lengthen the time before you show a new section (bridge in this case) as i even found myself pausing as i wanted to see the pictures and read before it changed. wasn't that bad, but think would help.
At #4, the two "unnecessary" branches that lead to the same destination are in fact a very clever way to unclog the way to the destination. Cars are split in two branches and are moving instead of forming a line and clogging the whole system. Very smart.
Yeah, and also one of them is a single purpose thru branch, while the other one is needed to get down to and up from the toll booth. (It' a bit like saying "three of the four leaves in a clover leaf are unneccessary, because you could just take the turn directly.")
Wow, two routes that lead to the same place... it's a shame the engineers didn't post the design on RUclips and get the opinion of the comments section before it was approved.

Sorry for my bad English! p.s. this page is so easy to understand www.w-nexco.co.jp/search/jct_map/oyamazaki/
I have driven on number 1. Didnt even know it was there until i approached it and thought wtf do i do here lol its a roundabout of roundabouts and surprisingly has a great safety record as everyone goes slow due to confusion lol
I also stumbled onto it while driving before I knew about it, on a rainy, busy Friday rush hour cross country drive, and it definitely caused some initial confusion as I worked out what to do. But it works out alright in the end, we're pretty used to roundabouts here in the UK
The Magic Roundabout, despite looking intimidating, is actually rather simple. You just follow the lines and give way to the right. Possibly up to 5 times in quick succession.
As for #4 Oyamazaki Interchange, previously the main expressway (Meishin Expressway) was normal dual carriageway. However, congestion became so severe by 1990s that Japan Highway Public Cooperation decided to build another dual carriageway and make it quad carriageway (2+2 for westbound, 2+2 for eastbound). The construction was completed in 1998. Still, the expressway is congested since it connects Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya, so another route is under construction which is called Shin-Meishin to bypass the old route.
Over the past week, ending November 23, global stock indices showed a negative trend. The focus of investors was the political situation in the European…e-fin.top
I live kinda close to the Springfield Interchange or as we call it "The Mixing Bowl" and I had always thought that it was pretty much normal and that there was at least one in every city but I was surprised to see it in this video and I guess a little proud.😁🚗🚙
I lived in NOVA and drove the “spaghetti bowl” in Springfield very frequently. The new one is a great improvement over the old one. The biggest headache is if you’re not in the correct lane by the time you’re in the midst and traffic is heavy (and it’s almost always so) you either try to do what many tourists do: slow (or even stop for heaven’s sake) or try a last second lane swerve across six lanes of traffic. If you are planning on driving this road and you’re unfamiliar with the roads, either use and follow your GPS or know in advance which road will take you to your destination and stick to it.
This is very true, as I deal with this interchange five days a week. I am somewhat surprised another that I have gone through is not on the list, and that is the US 75/I-635 interchange in Dallas, Texas.
2:50 => Actually it perfectly makes sense to have two routes flowing through each direction. Most of the interchange is only one lane. Having two routes flowing through a central roundabout removes the need to change lanes to change direction. The track starts at the 3 lane straight away. One lane for each approach direction (side, top and bottom). Instead of changing lanes each lane splits into two directions each. Lane 1 is fed by the top and the roundabout, then splits into into the roundabout or goes out the side. Lane 2 is fed by the bottom and the roundabout, and splits into the roundabout or goes out the side. Lane 3 is the roundabout is fed by the side and goes out the top or bottom. It's completely modular. They can section off any point or even the entire central ring (let's say... to have a race) and the freeway would still work.
Imagine 2 miles before hitting one of those crazy intersections your GPS says: "It's been nice guiding up to this point. From now on, good luck!" 😅🤣🤣🤣😜
2:53 On the branch that has the loop, it connects to other routes of traffic. That traffic, if they choose to eventually turn onto the route going to the bottom-left corner, that branch becomes necessary for them.
"This roundabout is so chaotic , the eiffel tower presence would remind you that you're in Europe instead of some Indochina cities" What a racist comment
I'm not European, I'm from Tangerang city in Indonesia (One of IndoChina city) and I gotta be honest, he's true lol, wtf? Before that, can you *"differentiate"* the difference between "Criticism" and "Racism" please? There's nothing wrong with Criticism. Racism on the other hand is when you insult other people's "race" and the critique of the city has nothing to do with race at all.
Actually the rest of the world drives on the wrong side of the road, it's been proven that driving on the left is safer and better. The driver of the vehicle is sat on the right hand side giving better control of the vehicle when changing gear, using the radio etc. most people are right handed so their right hand will be on the steering wheel when using the vehicles functions.
When the Sprinfield Interchange in Virginia first opened, there was a winter storm. The road crews didn't de-ice all of the new surfaces. Among the hundreds trapped during the height of the storm was a school bus. It took some 12 hours to free them.
Yeah, that's the tooth. Probably because of all the drilling they do in Texas. And all that ice and snow can leave motorists filling like they've just had a root canal.

Rudy Steiner roundabouts are most efficient on A-Roads or in suburbs (really small roundabouts) anything more than a Dual Carriageway usually has a problem with roundabouts, i.e motorways rely on intersections.
Actually, if you knew how roundabouts worked, you'd understand they're very successful at keeping traffic flowing. What fucks them up is people approaching, instead of properly merging into the flowing traffic, they STOP!!! They sit there and wait for an opening. That's way roundabouts have no red, yellow and green LIGHTS! You're not supposed to STOP! Very simple process but most drivers don't understand or even know the proper theory of operation of something as simple as a non-moving part roundabout! "Look! No red, yellow and green lights! What do I do? STOP for Christ's sake!" Blithering idiots, you included. You should have known.
You try to merge into traffic in a roundabout Western Washington without waiting for an opening you will get hit by another car. People in this state are jealous of their position in traffic and leave precisely three feet of clearance between them and the car in front of them.
That "three feet" goes nationwide. I'm "Old School". I refuse to tailgate and always let someone in...as long as they signal their intention! Tailgaters get their windshield "washed" by me. Just turn my wipers on high and hit the fluid. Pisses people off! Me? I wouldn't mind. Hell, free wash and saves my fluid!
The one in Springfield, VA. I drove there few times, didn't feel too complicated, until I see this aerial view. The roundabouts in Norway makes no sense. One big roundabout with 5 small roundabouts inside?
5 minute of Google-Fu meditation reveals that it's a myth, but insurance companies do handle it in a special way - they split damages evenly, because it's near impossible to determine fault and lengthy litigations just drain their money.
I went there at 3am on a Sunday night, when the roads were empty. What could possibly go wrong, I thought. Now's my chance to drive around that infamous roundabout, stress free. Utterly terrifying about halfway round, when cars and busses started piling on from a side road in front of me. Never again!
It's priority given to the entering driver, like a lot of places in Paris. Just FYI, priority on the right applies when there are no road sign and, oh! no road sign at Etoile! Fun fact, there is only one stop in the whole city ;) As for insurance, no matter the place, accident in a roundabout is almost all the time a 50/50 issue.
Can't help traffic is fundamentally flawed in that game. And if you want to use industries buildings with basic roads and no traffic manager mod good luck. Base game won't even let you set intersection types
I lived in Springfield, VA from 1966 to 1975 and remember this interchange--just outside S'field. It is I-95, I-495 aka the Beltway, and I-395 ( which was just part of 95 in my day ).
After seeing those roads am amazed how earopeans and americans have done well done civilised humans love from zimbabwe. All dictators from the third world learn learn learn dont go reading at UN what have u got to read to people who have economies like that
Interestingly, Swindon's Magic Roundabout also has redundant paths just like the Oyamazaki interchange, the idea being alternate paths in case the other way is congested.
That "streetbuilding" is in Umeda Osaka in Japan. The construcktion of the tower startet already when the Streetplaning realice they MUST have a Highwayramp there to be able to handle the upcoming Trafic.The owner of that plot was be forced to sell his lot and get a refound for his expenses and he refused it. so the ONLY solution was to build the ramp trugh the building. AND here is the funny part. The City of Osaka Pay a Monthley rent for 5 Flors on that Building for as long that ramp exists. YES 5 Floors for fire safty reasions the floors over and under the street is unusable as well.

Fun fact on #3 Arc de Triomphe: every five minutes or so there is a 10-20 second gap when no traffic is coming from any of the 12 side avenues and you can try and quickly run across to the Arc in the center (instead of taking the foot tunnel). Try at your own risk and best not when a Gendarme is nearby.
I would manage any one of these (outside the US) because I understand the people there know how to fucking move and keep a reasonable speed. Where I'm at, people freak out with the simple 2-lane roundabout and have this thing about braking for no reason. None. Oh, I'd give China a pass as well because with the air quality I'd probably die of asphyxiation.
i personally have no problem with these people, because they usually don't cause alot of danger. I do hate people who drive too fast, on their phones or just generally aggressive. They are the source of the problem. Imagine a world with only slow drivers and now a world with only aggressive drivers. I'd rather live in the first
hey i'm new here, very random and interesting video but i would advice talking during the video to talk about the facts etc so we can look at the pictures at the same time, instead of making us read a text ! but it's just a personal preference ^^
FYI if you want to reduce inner city traffic, Stockholm solved that problem: inner city car travel tolls. Also, if you want public transport to be safer, maybe having an anonymous Air Marshal type roll on random buses would greatly help
Almost all of these are actually interchanges rather thuan intersections, and the grammar was iffy but, aside from from the Italian one you didn’t show very well, they were interesting to see and well shown.
This list is irrelevant considering the fact that you can find all of the worlds craziest interchanges in one city. Houston has some of the best roadways in the world. There are seven 5-stack interchanges on beltway eight alone. Edit: I amend my initial statement to say that this list is a good list of unique interchanges.
What about Melbourne's (Australia) confusing interchange between Princes Highway (Dandenong Road) Springvale Road, Centre Road and Police Road (all at a ground level traffic light intersection and all marked with routes) I know it's not that complicated but being there with the 100 traffic lights (literally) and so many road markings and signs you'll get so confused.
@@memd777 Pfft 🙄 There's over 25 million "nothing compared to some countries, but still alot" people here and almost half of them are immigrants that *DON'T* assimilate 😡. Australia is NOT what you think it is!!!
+Gamergamingdude27 USA has many great spaghetti interchanges, including Tom Moreland Interchange of course. But few with standout uniqueness are chosen into the lists.
I think Atlanta's Spaghetti Junction deserves to be on the list because its standout uniqueness is that despite the efficiency for traffic in its design, it still has stop and go traffic every weekday morning and afternoon, with bumper to bumper traffic atop its highest stack.

It's priority given to the entering driver, like a lot of places in Paris. Just FYI, priority on the right applies when there are no road sign and, oh! no road sign at Etoile! Fun fact, there is only one stop in the whole city ;)
As for insurance, no matter the place, accident in a roundabout is almost all the time a 50/50 issue.

3:28 An average Modder in Cities Skylines
Can't help traffic is fundamentally flawed in that game. And if you want to use industries buildings with basic roads and no traffic manager mod good luck. Base game won't even let you set intersection types
I lived in Springfield, VA from 1966 to 1975 and remember this interchange--just outside S'field. It is I-95, I-495 aka the Beltway, and I-395 ( which was just part of 95 in my day ).
That interchange underwent a tremendous upgrade in the mid 2000’s. It is MUCH better now, but still challenging for tourists.
After seeing those roads am amazed how earopeans and americans have done well done civilised humans love from zimbabwe. All dictators from the third world learn learn learn dont go reading at UN what have u got to read to people who have economies like that
If it is possible i'll try to build one in Cities Skylines.
The background music also used in a game named "Intersection Controller" is this a coincidence?
Do you know what this song is called?
The dev of that game is literally a toxic rude person.
@@JadeEnby that doesnt mean we shouldn't be paying his game, also why?
Where's the one from the thumbnail?
Interestingly, Swindon's Magic Roundabout also has redundant paths just like the Oyamazaki interchange, the idea being alternate paths in case the other way is congested.
Narrating would have served better. found it too difficult to read and watch at the same time.

I can’t believe the video doesn’t show Chongqing.
Where's Tokyo's "The World's Busiest intersection"?
I could be outside enjoying my life but no...
I am inside with the curtains drawn watching top 10 biggest interchanges
Woah! That man’s stubbornness created something probably never thought of. Highway thru building, it’s really cool.
That "streetbuilding" is in Umeda Osaka in Japan. The construcktion of the tower startet already when the Streetplaning realice they MUST have a Highwayramp there to be able to handle the upcoming Trafic.The owner of that plot was be forced to sell his lot and get a refound for his expenses and he refused it. so the ONLY solution was to build the ramp trugh the building. AND here is the funny part. The City of Osaka Pay a Monthley rent for 5 Flors on that Building for as long that ramp exists. YES 5 Floors for fire safty reasions the floors over and under the street is unusable as well.

If you look carefully, there's bad grammar in every single sentence in this video.
@@SianaGearz People that comment on the spelling/grammar of the video have given data that indeed, people are watching: if they don't react, did they really watch it? :D
i assumed somewhere in Tokyo would be #1 and can only assume the video's wrong and not me.

They work, but you have to concentrate.
hit pause at 0:10 its includet already ;)
music from Intersection Controller :))
Wow 100,000 views! Thank you so much guys.

this one is good.
its a nice proof of concept. Very interesting. Quit unique

YES and 11 or 12, San Fran maybe...but Sweet Osakas and Shanghai got first!! for most....

Fun fact on #3 Arc de Triomphe: every five minutes or so there is a 10-20 second gap when no traffic is coming from any of the 12 side avenues and you can try and quickly run across to the Arc in the center (instead of taking the foot tunnel). Try at your own risk and best not when a Gendarme is nearby.
I would manage any one of these (outside the US) because I understand the people there know how to fucking move and keep a reasonable speed. Where I'm at, people freak out with the simple 2-lane roundabout and have this thing about braking for no reason. None.
Oh, I'd give China a pass as well because with the air quality I'd probably die of asphyxiation.
i personally have no problem with these people, because they usually don't cause alot of danger.
I do hate people who drive too fast, on their phones or just generally aggressive. They are the source of the problem.
Imagine a world with only slow drivers and now a world with only
aggressive drivers. I'd rather live in the first
Ssshenkie Just be sure to leave early!
...like the average commuter in Japan by.... 3 hours to get to work?
hey i'm new here, very random and interesting video but i would advice talking during the video to talk about the facts etc so we can look at the pictures at the same time, instead of making us read a text ! but it's just a personal preference ^^
Anyone else think of the roundabout seen with Chevy Chase in European Vacation?
Oi oi. Number 1 baby. Long time since Swindon was top of anything for a long time!!!
England ... of course England ... they are driving on the wrong side of the road.
FYI if you want to reduce inner city traffic, Stockholm solved that problem: inner city car travel tolls.
Also, if you want public transport to be safer, maybe having an anonymous Air Marshal type roll on random buses would greatly help
Arc de Triomphe is the WORST. They should make it a Magic Roundabout like in Swindon.
So build an underground mega magic roundabout under it!
@@zagadka3147 There is an RER station underneath the roundabout, so there is no space.
Almost all of these are actually interchanges rather thuan intersections, and the grammar was iffy but, aside from from the Italian one you didn’t show very well, they were interesting to see and well shown.
This list is irrelevant considering the fact that you can find all of the worlds craziest interchanges in one city. Houston has some of the best roadways in the world. There are seven 5-stack interchanges on beltway eight alone.
Edit: I amend my initial statement to say that this list is a good list of unique interchanges.
Ben Durgin Oh you Americans
LMAO!
Looking up “crazy highways” is probably the most random high thought i’ve ever had lmao
Hong Kong has a highway through a shopping mall... Japan is not the only one
Duncan's Lego Tech chan yes but u cnt compared Japan is ahead n way better than china
Berlin Germany also has a 6 lane gighway through a building.
They said the first, not the only one.
@@RB25luv Not necessarily
What about Melbourne's (Australia) confusing interchange between Princes Highway (Dandenong Road) Springvale Road, Centre Road and Police Road (all at a ground level traffic light intersection and all marked with routes) I know it's not that complicated but being there with the 100 traffic lights (literally) and so many road markings and signs you'll get so confused.
#5 is called "The Mixing Bowl" in the parlance of our times.
Hello from 3 years in the future. "the mixing bowl" was what that interchanged was called in the before times when it was a 9 lane wide death trap.
You forgot the highway 5 and 14 changes in northern Los Angeles, that one is chaotic too with truck lanes and many exits.
Lol,were i live in Australia there are 1 lane abandoned looking road that are all gravel.
nice... Australia lacks human life
@@memd777 Pfft 🙄 There's over 25 million "nothing compared to some countries, but still alot" people here and almost half of them are immigrants that *DON'T* assimilate 😡.
Australia is NOT what you think it is!!!

The Springfield interchange is pretty damn challenging. No amount of NoVA driving can prepare you for that!
I go through 1:14 all the time, there is more hidden inside
Been on the Springfield VA one a lot of times! :)
lived here when they were building it.
me too. 'Mixing bowl' is the nickname IIRC...
EZ Pass hot lanes on 95/395/495 have made that interchange livable for me.

how to the fuck people make these in real life?? I can't even do it properly in cities skyline ...
Atlantas spaghetti interchange?
+Gamergamingdude27 USA has many great spaghetti interchanges, including Tom Moreland Interchange of course. But few with standout uniqueness are chosen into the lists.
Montreal, Canada has a crazy interchange too. interchange Turcot, ''echangeur Turcot''
+Engineering8 did you know there's a 4 freeway interchange (I-5,I-10 CA-60 and US-101) THATS HUGE THAN THE SPRINGFIELD INTERCHANGE
I think Atlanta's Spaghetti Junction deserves to be on the list because its standout uniqueness is that despite the efficiency for traffic in its design, it still has stop and go traffic every weekday morning and afternoon, with bumper to bumper traffic atop its highest stack.
Also there's a freeway going through a building in Atlanta - GA400 in Buckhead
*Heavy breathing Cities:Skylines player sounds* must build intersections!
That’s why I use a GPS XD
Came here for inspiration
shanghai has two
Osaka has two, too...
I think they have same crazy driving DNA.
At least these two are not too much confusing
So does Osaka
