Railway overpass over highway

[sanjika]

I know it’s possible, but I can only do it in a very complicated way. Does anyone have a simpler version of this?

Imo it would be more realistic, even though the game doesn't really limit it that much, to put the highway over the rail line. However two other possibilities are:
- Form an indention and make the road go under allowing for a smooth rail bridge.
- Make a hill and cut the riad through it to make a smooth rail overpass.

It might be useful to explain, or show, what it is that you're finding to be complicated about something like this when asking such questions, because I don't think I can give you a helpful answer without such an explanation. I don't find bridging to be a particularly complex operation in-game; the only issue I have with it is that getting the spacing right can sometimes be a bit finicky.

You might also want to consider inverting your setup and sending the highway over the railroad rather than the railroad over the highway.

First, you need to elevate the terrain on both sides of the railway. After that, you build the bridge. It's more realistic that way IMO.

I will try. Thank You!

Nothing elegant here, in fact if I had thought about the road traffic being held up as it was due to the trams using the railway as frequently as they do I would have tried a better layout....

as it is that bridging option works, it allows unrestricted road access.
Simple to do, not sure about what you mean when you note "complicated". Sunken roads or embankments weren't really a possibility in the two examples above.

The only issue is current terraforming. It is easy to create embankment, but it is very tricky to make steep slope near crossed road.

With single road bridges are ok, but paralell roads are different. I spent a lot of time with terrain editor to made a relativelly elegant railroad bridge over a paralell road, but I always confused.

As mentioned above perhaps some screenshots of what you are confused about, or finding complicated. Parallel roads, IIRC a 39m span for even the electrified bridges for railways, shouldn't be an issue.
