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.

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.")

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.
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
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.
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
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.
I'm aware the difficulty but you don't want to hear me narrating and using text-to-speech audio would be terrible either. For now this is the way I choose to deliver. I'm sorry if you are not comfortable watching my videos. When its economically feasible enough, I will hire good narrator for my channel.
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.
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.
@0:21 - yes, it looks mad from above but when you're actually driving on it (as I do most weeks), you'd hardly even realise; it's pretty straightforward.
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 ).
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.
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.
Golden Glades Interchange in Miami. Six major expressways come together plus three major surface streets within a mile. Make sure your affairs are in order.
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.

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 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.😁🚗🚙
#5 the Springfield Interchange, is also located at the end of some of the worst traffic in the country. Just South of it is I-95, the only highway anywhere near that takes you South (Fredricksburg, Richmond) from the North (DC, Baltimore). DC to Baltimore has 3 highways but DC South only has 1.
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.
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.
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.

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.
The Springfield interchange is a vast improvement over the original design, separating through from local traffic and eliminating a very dangerous merge/exit point for I95 and the DC beltway.

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.
+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.
There's a weird and huge 5 way tollway interchange west of Chicago serving interstate 88/IL 110, interstate 290, and interstate 294, as well as partial connections to IL 38 and surface streets. It's a weird hybrid of 6 partial interchanges smashed into one junction
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!

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
Damn nice video I subscribed
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.

i really like your video!! subbed and liked!
Fun fact about the arc de triumph roundabout
You lose insurance coverage when on it
Jared Woltman WHAT
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.

Paris looks very nice from above, the shape of the streets is very cool
I drive on the Springfield Interchange everyday
The Springfield interchange is a vast improvement over the original design, separating through from local traffic and eliminating a very dangerous merge/exit point for I95 and the DC beltway.
where’s dallas high five interchange?
Driving an 18 wheeler for over 30 years, I can think of at least 7 more crazy interchanges starting with I-5 in north San Fernando valley California.
Number 1:
Nerdcubed: *How about a roundabout MADE OUT OF ROUNDABOUT'S!*
They work, but you have to concentrate.

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
The Springfield interchange is pretty damn challenging. No amount of NoVA driving can prepare you for that!
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!
Virginias Mixing Bowl Interchange in Springfield is one hell of a interchange I've ever drove onto..
Go to Beijing，you will lose the way on it
I love Beijing and I think it's a beautiful city after I watched the Olympics there.
We dont get lost there, we get stuck.

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
very interesting pictures!
Where's Tokyo's "The World's Busiest intersection"?
There's a weird and huge 5 way tollway interchange west of Chicago serving interstate 88/IL 110, interstate 290, and interstate 294, as well as partial connections to IL 38 and surface streets. It's a weird hybrid of 6 partial interchanges smashed into one junction
Oh so roundabouts don't work in cities:skylines AND real life!
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 spiral to bridge is just elegant.
Anyone else think of the roundabout seen with Chevy Chase in European Vacation?
Absolutely right! Craziest express ways...it looks a little tough, but once you there, you there, drive or drive...
I came from cities skylines and all the comments I see are people who came from cities skylines too 🤦♀️
Verry.nice
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.
Crazy! Especially when you are from a small village where the normal 1-way round-about with 4 ways is the most busy intersection ever.
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 😡.

What's neat about the Arc de Triomphe is that pedestrians can get to the center via tunnels from the outside
