What a fascinating video. Simcity aside, I never thought so closely about interchanges, nor was I aware that there were so many varieties. Thank you for posting.
You think a four lvl stack is expensive. Texas recently finished a high 5 interchange, with a level dedicated to portage roads, or roads that run next to the freeway/interstate/motorway in metropolitan centers. It connects I-635 with US 75 in Dallas Texas. A quick search in any search engine should bring up quite a few links. Quick fact, the interchange was $261 million dollars, or roughly 360 million pounds, using a rough exchange number. Also, 120 feet, 37 meters high.
I noticed you didn't tell where the windmill-interchange (@ 2:30) was: It's in The Netherlands, just south of Rotterdam with the A15 and A29 crossing. Or at least, it used to be, because it was partially demolished because of a road widening (which you can actually see in the pic). And currently they are rebuilding the interchange again... If you want to check it out as it currenly is: enter 51.865627,4.514866 in GMaps :) And about the video itself: it's very good! Greetings from Holland :)
Err... two errors in your Cloverleaf description. The major one is that the cloverleaf you featured is in Redditch, not Kidderminster. You got the wrong end of the road there! The second one is that there are now only two cloverleafs in the UK - Livingstone, West Lothian, Scotland used to have a pair, but the northern one has since been converted into a parclo dumbbell. Other than that, a nice intro to the major junction types - including a brief look at Gravelley Hill and Great Barr.
Are you kidding?! You see cloverleafs only in rural parts of the US. In metropolitan areas, you have more complex interchanges such as the stack, windmills, turbines etc. There are some weird interchanges with no shape also, take a look at interchanges near Los Angeles and all the other cities around it, you will rarely see a cloverleaf.
@123hailhell Hi, I live 15 miles north of this interchange. It has work well inspite of the enormous amount of traffic it sees everyday. It has only on problem, ice. When we get an ice storm the thing is rendered useless, but that is to be expected.

Thank you again for taking the trouble to make these. They both helped me in learning how to construct Interchanges.

My next vid is going to on how to make cloverstacks. I found them exceptionally difficult actually; not to mention rather large lol
very much enjoyed part 1 and 2 !
clover leafs are like almost everywhere in Canada!
great series of videos

Indeed you could. Although it would take up a lot more space than the real life one, making all of the movements is possible.
Very informative. Thank you.

Canada basically only use cloverleafs except in urban environments
I'm british too but I still love your voice!
Does image in beginning is from google earth?
very nice! but what about pinavia?
Funny, I knew were all of those were except 2, I can see the M69/M6 one on there, thats an unusual mixture of types.
@123hailhell you mean 360 mil dollars , or roughly 261 mil pounds. right?
Sorry about that, I know it's suppose to be english. It was a reference to a swedish expression for mis-pronouncement
Why cant some one make a mod to build American type freeways with feeder road and 4 and 4 level stacks that dont take up so much space?
@Pardusflame
Thanks ^^
Very Informative
@Asteconn ,oh yeah, google maps, i made a mistake.
Windmill with at grade intersections in Ohio, US at jct US 35 and Ohio 32/124.
Very helpful
Want some cloverleafs? Go to Laval!
+igo258 Also, 4-stacks FTW
@LShiznit xD good job!
7 people love simcity societies
simcity 5 should see like those pics, and no more grids.......
@Graywolf116 :: Go raibh míle maith agat :D
I love your accent.
nice england homie ;D
i can't believe i watched that.
@Dutchcolonialism :: Google maps =]
obviously you have never been to America then. most interchanges aren't cloverleafs
didn't learn jack shit from this video
2 poeple never play SC 4 :P
Nice ENGLISH* homie ;)
