Fun fact: Despite the massive advantages of this type of interchange and the relative low cost to convert existing DDIs to this, there has never been one constructed (and documented).
Thanks for bringing attention to the DCMI. We need these in real life! Having said that, this DCMI is not optimal. For a proper DCMI with drive-on-right traffic -- which this is -- drivers on the highway who want to go "left" take the right-side exit, loop over the traffic coming from their right, and merge on the right side of that traffic, which eliminates the need for weaving. Additionally, as patented, the DCMI has secondary-road traffic go under rather than over at the first overpass. This means that traffic from the secondary road enters the highway at the same level rather than from above on a downward slope.
Turbo charged upgrade of a DDI. Thx for adding a upgrade for our little town in city skylines. I like our DDI but the lights were only viable until 200k population.
@@f13ry Yeah he didn't build it correctly. The left turning lanes starting at ground level have to pass under the elevated part and merge from the right. This eleminates all weaving.
that's the best intersection imo .. no conflict and no traffic lights and jams .. thanks i will use it in my city :D i was using two level round about but it got a bad traffic jam :\
Great! That fixes the one most obvious flaw that I immediately saw with the DDI. However, now I have half a mind to untangle the double crossovers again... Don't mind me; I'm just dreaming.
Hey T4rget just wanted to drop by and let you know your designs and videos are great. Keep it up and I'm hoping you can build another big city when you get a beefier PC!
The question is whether you want to go slightly uphill or downhill when deciding to make a left turn onto the highway. You decided downhill, but in real life this might give the driver the impression that he has less time to decide which way to go. On that note, uphill might be a safer alternative, but that is just theory and not applicable to cities skylines anyway.
This is not a DCMI. It's a mixture of a DDI and a DCMI that doesn't make sense without any signals. The lane leaving the highway towards the left is supposed to go to the center of the diamond. The flow is like this. Driving on the 3-lane arterial road, the leftmost lane is a pure left lane that goes to the highway. The center becomes the new left lane and the right lane becomes the new center lane. Now the people coming from the highway enter the arterial road from the right side. Actually they don't enter, they just stay on their lane, because it becomes the right lane. So once more expplained differently. On the arterial road, at the point where the left lane goes onto the highway, the people coming from the highway enter on the right side. You lose one lane on the left side, but gain one from the right side. There's no weaving. No one has to change lanes or look out for oncoming traffic at any point. That's what the DCMI is about.
This man is correct. I just made my own DCMI and upon closer inspection realised it wasn't right. I came to yt to have a look and you have made the same thing I did. The two crossovers of the "double crossover" I guess are the one crossover to eliminate the points where the traffic would cross at the lights in the DDI, and another to place those coming off the motorway in the inside lane of the bridge (this is the crossover you are missing). I guess the theory is that if you are coming off the motorway you are pretty unlikely to make U-turn back onto the other carriageway, so it makes most sense that you are placed in the lane for the minor road. These guys get it right. ua-cam.com/video/A44L1bl-Flo/v-deo.html Probably the easier to see what's going on ua-cam.com/video/uthkP8R-oIw/v-deo.html Very nice looking I'm not sure I agree with OP though that this thing, whatever it is called (Single crossover merging interchange?) makes no sense. It seems to function reasonably well in game. Although given that there does not seem to be a name for it IRL perhaps he is right. Peace
pretty sure there's no such thing as a "double diverging diamond". its not a diverging diamond because diverging diamonds have roads crossing over each other, controlled with traffic lights

Possibly because the design is patent encumbered.
Yeah, I was thinking of trying to make this in cities skylines, but I'm on console so its a bit harder.

So basically a DDI but without that intersection to switch driving sides.
it’s the Друг yes and that makes it the best kind of interchange imo
World Peace Still has weaving though...

+fuflang Hey, thanks for the kinds words, glad to know you enjoyed my videos! I'm already saving some money to build a custom PC!
Came here for some intense counting-squares action, wasn't let down!

I like your music!
it's soooooo great!!!!
So a diamond diverging interchange but more fun
fucking brilliant and much needed and overdue
Should’ve committed 10 months ago when I found this video! great work, keep it up!

@@chrisloach9658 well for the li9fe of me i need to find the correct way. coz i am going to implement it.
Will you give a link to this crossword?
Nice
Awesome
What are you using to show the global grid?
It automatically shows up on the Asset Editor.
Así quiero un crucero en mi rancho ay muchos choked de burros homy!
All those 6 lanes go to waste because the vanilla AI is still only using 1 lane
That’s why advanced AI and Traffic manager are must for me I can’t stand when they only use one lane
This should be in real life 😆
This is actually called a diverging diamond interchange, without the intersections, and we have one in our city.
A diverging diamond has intersections on each side
pretty sure there's no such thing as a "double diverging diamond". its not a diverging diamond because diverging diamonds have roads crossing over each other, controlled with traffic lights
That was my error. took the double out.
No it's not bud, and no you don't. DCMIs are a fictional interchange.
