I'm not really a cager but I love the art and design of interchanges. Post your favorites, least favorites, whatever. I feel like this belongs here.

Pic related is the Marquette interchange in Milwaukee, which a friend recently had the pleasure of driving across. I myself took a trip to Denver last week from the Twin Cities. Saw my first diverging diamond interchange under construction in NE, which was nice. Also out west seemed to have more parcloes than here, which was neat.

My favorite at home. Most others are relatively small and uninteresting, or cloverleafs and uninteresting.

Japan also has some cool stuff, but I try not to think too hard about theirs because of the direction issue.
This one in the west end of Toronto. The original plan was for this to be a 4 highway interchange consisting of the 401, 427, Crosstown Expressway, and Highway 27. The Crosstown was never built except for the short stretch of Eglinton Avenue that leads into this interchange.

I like this one. Tons of empty space tough, which is weird to me. All of our interchanges in lower-density areas are annoying, hard to navigate cloverleafs like pic related.
roundabouts are more fun

Koning Willem-Alexandertunnel in Maastricht, Netherlands.

I've always been a fan of the 401/Allen Road Interchange in Toronto as well. If only because the Subway runs through the center of it.

You call that hard to navigate? Seriously?
>>984149
Japan huh. You could spend hours posting their crazy junctions/interchanges.
My favorite is the Hokkukou JCT

I thought the USA Texas High 5 Interchange was the highest, this looks like it's also 5 levels.
le form over function
Couldnt they put a dome or microphones around all these to harness the sound energy from all these cages whhizzing by and turn it into electrical energy?

This is under construction right now in Orlando

Cloverleafs are hard to navigate because traffic that wants to turn left has to merge into the same lane as traffic that is turning toward their right. This can be very difficult for trucks and other large vehicles, they're more dangerous also.

Why the FUCK wasn't that condensed into one rotary?
>>985154
I don't think the technology for that is currently even remotely approaching cost effective.
>>985104
Texas is deceiving because the lowest lanes are in a canyon. They look very similar in height though.

It's Swindon. Need anyone say more?

Is that supposed to mean anything to me?

Aside from the traffic flowing in both directions it essentially already IS a 4-5 lane rotary. With roundabouts controlling the exits. The Brits certainly seem to like it, because there are several other magic roundabouts over there aside from Swindon.
Still not as bad as Haymarket "roundabout" in Melbourne, Australia. Don't even know what to classify this malformed thing as.

This one near my house has a nice view of the office buildings at night, and it's pretty high

Absolutely disgusting waste of space and resources. Cars are literally the worst form of transport.
>>986783
Don't worry, a few decades more and it'll be all robots driving, which will also simplify the intersections by quite a bit
>>986851
>still spouting the same things that in the 1950s were to arrive in "a few decades more"
Yeah, and cars will be electric too in just a few decades more. Just hold on one sec, keep smelling fumes for juuuust a couple of years more, just keep driving your own car for a liiiitle bit, but honestly, it's all just about to get here, seriously! And there'll be flying cars, too!

One day, anon, I will be the ruler, I'll tear down all highways and replace them with a tight network of rail connections.
One day.
